Help shape the Remote Voluntary Internship Programme for international students

18th January 2021

The University of Sheffield is calling for business views and opinions to help shape its Remote Voluntary Internship Programme for international students.

The programme aims to help students gain experience that they may have missed out on during the lockdown. As well as to provide valuable support to organisations that are looking to develop international markets or build international connections amid Brexit, but may be struggling for resources in the pandemic - such as charities, SMEs, and public sector organisations.

The University has compiled a brief survey to understand if organisations in the Sheffield City Region would like to become an international student volunteer intern host, and your suggestions to shape this programme to best benefit both the hosts and the students.

Please take 5 minutes to complete the survey via the link below:
