Step 1 - We Co-Design an Internship Programme With You
  • We start by understanding what your specific requirements are for implementing an internship programme (e.g., start and end dates and the types of internships required)
  • Through our employer network, we'll then engage with companies who would be well placed to host an internship
  • Through conversations with companies, we'll define internships with them that are specifically designed to meet your requirements
Step 2 - We Onboard the Students
  • Students and staff will be onboarded onto the 'Impact Platform'
  • All students are assigned a dedicated ‘Experience Success Coordinator’, who is a member of staff at Impact Consulting who will introduce students to their company to organise the 1st meeting and will be available to students at any time during the experience, for additional support
Step 3 - The Internships Begin
  • Students will have their 1st meeting with their company, which is also attended by their Impact Consulting 'Experience Success Coordinator'
  • Students can access e-learning training content, resources and templates through the Impact Platform to support them during their placement
Step 4 - We Oversee the Internships
  • We remain available at all times during the internships, should any issues arise
  • Staff will be able to track the live status of all internships through our Staff Portal, where they will also be able to view half way company feedback
Step 5 - We Ensure a Successful Completion
