UK employers


We will expect employers to:


Have established an office in the UK and to have been trading for at least 12 months.



Have policies and procedures in place to employ, pay and monitor an intern as part of a genuine internship programme.


Have existing staff in the business with experience to share with the intern as well as the capacity to train and develop them for the duration of the programme.

Genuine internships


Work experience

The primary purpose of the internship must be to provide a temporary period of work experience, rather than to satisfy a staffing requirement in the business.

Non-critical function

If the intern was not there, then the employer should be able to operate without replacing them.

Learning & development

We will ask for a structured plan for the internship which explains the purpose of the programme, the learning objectives and describes how the employer intends to train and develop the intern for the full duration of the programme.

Analytics & reporting

We will ask all employers to accept the terms & conditions and agree to meet the ongoing record keeping and reporting duties of the scheme.
