Placements, Student Internships and Work Experience

Gain valuable work experience with a gap year internship or job placement. A work placement or student internship which gives you an insight into your choice of career and the experience you need to give you the best chance when going for jobs in the future is a valuable way to spend a gap year. You may not earn any money from your chosen internship or placement, but it is undoubtedly a great future investment. Whether your aim is to work for a blue chip company or smaller business, any experience you gain will set you apart from other applicants - consider the enormous amount of applicants to the "milk round" each year. A gap year spent in an internship or work placement gaining experience will give you a valuable head start on other students who go straight to University or straight from Uni into a career search.
