hire interns

grow your business

Re-think the way you take interns.

Fulfil your business support needs with bright young talent using our bespoke, KPI-driven, fully managed internships.

Internships, re-imagined.

Everyone likes the idea of taking interns – it’s great for ESG / CSR in your local community, they’re an excellent source of new ideas and insight, and can often be a valuable extra pair of hands.

But in reality, this comes at a cost. On-boarding and training, active management time and costly remuneration with no guarantee of output or quality – it all adds up.

The Grad Soc removes these barriers and makes it easy for you to gain all the benefits with a fraction of the costs – increasing efficiency and output for both company and interns.

Finding your interns

We source and interview our interns from our own members so that we can be sure they’re already ahead of the game.

After interviewing students who match what you’re looking for, we provide each intern with 4 weeks of work readiness and industry specific training before they connect with your team, ensuring all interns meet our high standards.

Social Media Marketing, Growth Hacking, Content Creation, Business Development, Sales Research, Analytics, Beta Testing, Customer Service, PR, User Feedback, Branding, Email Marketing, User Acquisition & Retention and Fundraising.

Whichever areas you pick and tasks you assign, we’ll provide the relevant industry level training and high-touch support.

Reviews from our clients

Maximise your ESG/CSR impact.

We have a particular focus on young women and underrepresented groups wanting to get into their chosen industry, with these students representing over 70% of all interns we’ve worked with to date.

Companies who take part can expect to reach over 250,000 people through CSR exposure with our audience, university/local partners and regular PR, alongside an ‘Equal Opportunity Provider’ accreditation that we award you afterwards, backed by innovate UK.

In addition, we’re CPD accredited, which means our training and coaching programmes have reached the required Continuing Professional Development standards, and the learning value is constantly scrutinised to ensure integrity and quality.
