Why apply?

University students have lengthy vacations, and there are many ways you could use your time. So why should you apply for a Student Hubs Ethical Internship?

1. Guidance
Undecided on where you want to go after your studies? We believe that the best way to find out if a career would suit you is to give it a go. This internship scheme is designed to give you a unique insight into what it would be like to work in the ethical sector.

2. Boost your CV
If you are considering a career in this sector, work experience is essential. Almost every position requires you to have done previous work. We have set up this scheme to create an opportunity for you to gain vital skills and knowledge, and set you on the path to your future career.

3. Quality internship placements
Student Hubs will ensure that all of the placements offered are meaningful, challenging and worthwhile. The scheme will not promote administrative internships, but rather, Student Hubs will stipulate that any organisation which wishes to offer placements must provide an interesting position, in which you and your work will be appreciated.

4. The Student Hubs support package
Student Hubs will support you along every step of the way. We will provide training before your placement starts which will be tailored to help those who are embarking on early experiences in the ethical sector. We will provide you with support during your placement, providing you with an alternative source of information and advice other than the organisation with whom you are interning.

5. Networking
During your placement you will have the chance to meet others who work in ethical careers and find out what they do and how they got there.

6. Fun
We organise socials with other interns, meaning you will have the opportunity to meet like-minded people in a casual environment. Of course, given our insistence that the participating organisations provide an interesting placement, the work will be fun too!

7. Social Impact
The most important reason! You will be undertaking useful work in an organisation that has a positive social or environmental impact.
