The internship scheme is for current undergraduate students and is run by the Economic Development Department. Students can apply by sending in their CV's.
- 149 students applied for the scheme.
- 21 studentssubsequently withdrew their applications because they foundemployment through other means.
- 80 students were successful ingaininginternships, representing 63% of studentswhoapplied.
- Asstudents are currently in higher education, no record is kept of their place ofsecondary education.
- Recruitment decisions rest with the employers, following an initial short listing of candidates byJersey Enterprise. This short listing isbasedon the following criteria:
- the dates students are available to work;
- placement duration as set out by employer;
- skills and experience required as set out on the registration form;
- the students' skills, interests and experience as stated on their CVs and application forms.
From this shortlist, employers interview and select the student they wish to recruit.
In some instances, where a student has made a direct approach, employers have selected independently.
