Undergraduate Intership Scheme 

If you would like challenging and meaningful paid work over the summer holiday period, apply to the Undergraduate Internship Scheme. The objectives of the programme are to:

  • introduce you to the professional opportunities available in Jersey in a wide variety of sectors
  • provide an opportunity for you to develop new and existing skills; and
  • provide an avenue for you to meet prospective employers

The internships are across all sectors of employment in Jersey. You will be paid at least the minimum wage during your placement and the employer may be eligible for a contribution towards your wages.

How to apply

Complete the application form and send it to us via email along with your CV. We will match your details with an employer and send them a short list of candidates to consider from which the employer will choose who to interview and select for their job. Please be aware that internships are granted on a competetive basis and we cannot guarentee placements for all who register with us.

VOLUNTEERING

Volunteering is not only satisfying, it makes a lot of sense. Helping others teaches you skills that many employers consider invaluable.

For a list of charities that may be able to offer you volunteering opportunites check out the 'Association of Jersey Charities' website.

If you would like to volunteer somewhere that isn't on the list then it is always worth contacting places directly to see if they can offer you a volunteering opportunity.
