Virtual Internship Opportunity
Bring on one or more students from London Metropliation University to be your virtual interns! Students will work on one or more projects of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Students are available for 105 hours of placement from November to January 2021.
This is an unpaid for-credit experience.
- Learner skills
- Marketing strategy, Research, Business development, Business consulting
- Deliverables
-
Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the project. The student should complete a minimum of 105 hours with your organization by January 2021.
Project Examples
Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.
Program outline
Students who are in their 2nd or 3rd year of study can look for placements in Autumn, Spring, and Summer. Students have the opportunity to apply classroom concepts to the challenges of business life as they gain valuable, relevant work experience as an intern student within your organization. Students are available from the following programs:
- Business Management
- Business Management & Marketing
- International Business Management
- Digital Business Management
Past students have done projects revolving around Business Development and/or research.
