University of Southampton receives new funding to support businesses taking on interns

Venturefest South partner, University of Southampton has recently had a significant amount of funding approved to support organisations in taking on its students for internships.

University of Southampton internships are an opportunity for students to work shorter term on a meaningful project and for employers to benefit from their skills, knowledge and enthusiasm! UoS Internships can be part-time during term-time (7-10 hours per week) and/or full time during a vacation period. We are able to offer grant funding to support an internship with an employer:
