What's new for 2024?

More focused

2024 has four streams, to give you a more indepth overview of the sectors and access to more employers and content within each stream. 

Bespoke panels

Attend bespoke panels designed to give our members a unique perspective of the world of work from relatable senior leaders in the tech industry. This will help you gain insights into the sector and tips on how you can navigate your early career successfully.

Networking for VIP Top 50

At the end of the programme, engaged attendees who participated in all four days of Internship Experience UK could be nominated as the Top 50 for the Technology stream and be invited to attend an exclusive networking event with BT Group. By attending, you'll be able to meet BT Group representatives face-to-face and gain a unique opportunity to build strong connections in the industry. 

Engaging workshops with audience

Throughout the four days, IEUK will be hosting various workshops to boost engagement and collaboration. These workshops are tailored to encourage you to work with other attendees and by yourself to solve real challenges that you might find in a technology role. 

Meet Bright Network Alums

Hear directly from recent grads about the world of work. Find out how they went about securing their first role in tech – what to expect, where to look and how to present yourself. Additionally, learn how they’ve achieved success early on and how they’ve handled challenges in their early careers.
