Role

Do you want to:

• Gain real-world work experience in a dynamic start-up environment?
• Develop core employment skills such as problem solving, resilience, project management and communication skills? 
• Build your CV and professional network and enhance your employability?
• Earn while you learn?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then the Warwick Enterprise Internship Programme may be for you.

The programme offers current Warwick students the opportunity to undertake a paid internship, of up to 60 hours, with one of Warwick Innovation District’s innovative start-ups. As part of the programme, you will attend a number of specially curated workshops designed to fast-track your skill development and equip you with the tools required to be a highly sought-after employee.

There will be a number of projects available. While every effort will be made to match participants to a suitable project, we are not able to guarantee the role you will be allocated. Illustrative types of project include:

• Market research, data analysis and reporting.
• Media/marketing strategy and content development.
• Website and app design.
• Business development.
• Systems and processes development.

As part of the recruitment process, we will ask you to rank your preferred type of project role. We will then match you to the projects available from our partner businesses.

As well as undertaking an internship and gaining access to skill developing workshops, we will provide bespoke eLearning to further assist you in your personal development and we will allocate a coach, who will support you through your internship.
