Looking to gain experience, grow your confidence, and explore career options all in just a few days? The ºÃÉ«tv’s Micro Internship programme offers short, paid opportunities designed to fit around your studies and give you a real taste of working life.
Micro Internships are open to all students. Most involve up to 35 hours of work. You might complete these hours in a standard working week or spread flexibly over several weeks, depending on the project’s needs. Whether you want to explore a particular sector, build your CV, or try something new, a Micro Internship is a great place to start.
Why do a Micro Internship
- Explore career options. Try sectors you’re curious about, even if they're unrelated to your degree.
- Get real insight. Take part in day-to-day tasks like meetings, presentations, and project work.
- Build your skills. Develop communication, problem-solving, time management, and more.
- Grow your network. Meet professionals and make connections that could lead to future opportunities.
