Universities

Running an e-skills Professional Placement scheme

Find out how e-skills Professional Placements benefit universities

Led by employers and with support and guidance from e-skills UK, the e-skills Internship scheme offers universities across the UK the chance to improve their degree courses, attract more students and more.

How can the e-skills Professional Placement scheme benefit your university?

Running this scheme can:

  • improve your students’ employability: internships improve students’ career prospects, helping you attract more students
  • enrich your undergraduate courses: work with employers to ensure coursework remains relevant and up-to-date.
  • enhance overall learning: students who complete a placement return with knowledge and skills they can share with others
  • improve on your existing placement programme without much work: the e-skills Internship is compatible with most IT placement schemes
  • reduce your need to step in: companies agree to follow best practice for placements, making it far less likely you’ll need to intervene
