The ‘Adopt an Intern’ programme takes any hassle away from the
employer in the sourcing and sifting of candidates. I would have no
hesitation in urging other businesses to engage with the programme.

"The Adopt an Intern Programme offers a fantastic opportunity for
graduates fresh out of university to get a foot on the career ladder in a
paid position. My internship has certainly benefitted my career: from
being a relatively inexperienced graduate, within a year my career is
now definitely on track."Nicholas Wheeler, Intern,
Ex intern at Holyrood Magazine
"I can’t thank the Adopt-an-intern programme enough! They have been
patient and incredibly helpful every step of the way and the internship
itself has and will continue to benefit not just my professional growth,
but also my life skills and openness to trying new things! Thank you!"
