Business Treks aimed at final-year undergraduates
Business Treks are a great opportunity to showcase your organisation’s culture, engage with our students and connect with them by immersing them in your office environment.
A typical trek will take place in organisations based in London, in November, and should last around 90 minutes. The visit may include an office tour, networking opportunities, a presentation of the sector and typical roles and duties, and/or a chance to meet current interns, placement students, graduates, or King’s alumni working in your organisation.
Our target cohort of students will be final year undergraduates from across our nine faculties who are exploring their career options by looking to gain an insight into different sectors. Our team will actively encourage and welcome students from traditionally under-represented communities in UK Higher Education to participate.
We provide a stipend to our students.
Virtual Micro Internships aimed at final-year undergraduates
Our Virtual Micro Internships are hosted on the experiential learning platform Practera, where students work in groups on an industry-relevant project proposed by the employer for two weeks (25 hours) in February and/or June.
We will partner with employers and consultancies of any size and location interested in providing final year undergraduate students with a specific project. We will support students and employers before and throughout the project.
