Popular programme
Last year, all of the host managers said they would recommend the programme and 95 per cent felt that their intern brought fresh ideas, thinking and skills to their department.
The programme is also very popular with students – there were 860 applications in 2018, and 92 per cent of interns believe their employment prospects are better as a result of their internship experience.
