What is a South Devon College  Graduate Advantage internship?

If there’s an aspect of your business which you’ve wanted the chance to develop but never had the time or the skills available, a Graduate Advantage internship may be your solution. We can match your requirements with a keen and motivated recent graduate who can work in your organisation, supported by the College, for as long as you want – anything from 8 weeks upwards.

How will a graduate intern benefi t my business?

The intern can work on something you’ve been wanting to do but never have the time.

This could be:

 

  • Researching a new market or reviewing a marketing strategy
  • Developing a new website or improving an old one 
  • Researching ways in which your company can become more energy efficient and reduce waste
  • Researching the implications of new or impending legislation 
  • An extra pair of hands 
  • A new perspective and a keen mind to make your ideas work 
  • An opportunity to test drive a potential new employee 
  • A specific technical project 
  • Looking at cutting edge process development stablishing or streamlining a training programme


Alternatively, you may be thinking of taking on a new employee. An internship can give you the chance to ‘Try before you buy’  in effect a long job interview. As South Devon College employs the intern, there’s no need to add to your payroll at the start, you just pay the graduate’s salary, employers’ National Insurance and pension currently £260 for the minimum wage to the college.

 

The more you can pay the greater your choice of  graduates.


Graduate interns can have a major impact on business. They have drive, motivation, fresh ideas and an up to date knowledge in their subject. Above all, they want the chance to make a di. erence. National internship schemes show that on average, an intern adds £25,000 to the pro. tability of a business, this could be your business.

 

Through a South Devon internship, you also have access to highly qualifed experts in their field at the College to support the intern and your business throughout the internship, from the initial scoping of the work plan to the final review.
