Update on Internships

A while ago in this blog I mentioned that 5 paid internship positions had been set up. They were within Student Services at the University and were specifically for international students (or students who have experience of being an international student - i.e. studied abroad etc). The posts were in:-
-Careers Service -Evaluation Assistant - Services for International Students
-Registry Services- Communications Review Assistant
-ELTC -International Summer School Recruitment Assistant
-Student Support and Guidance - Vacation Programme Assistant
-Student Support and Guidance - Chinese Student Project worker

Well, to update you – recently we had a celebration lunch where all the Interns gave a short presentation about their work. All the presentations were excellent and the interns seemed to have got a lot out of, and gained useful skills from, their work experience.

The intern at the Careers Service was Buya Jallow who was doing a project on evaluating our services for international students. She conducted a survey, which she mentioned in a previous posting on this blog. So thanks to all of you who completed the survey (and 5 lucky people have been notified that they have won a Meadowhall voucher!) Buya has written an excellent report which includes a summary of the survey results. So your comments and suggestions will help us to develop and improve our service for the future.

And finally thanks to Buya for all her hard work. Hopefully she will be working on a part-time project for us next year.
