Businesses across all sectors are being urged to benefit from dynamic science and technology students.
The university would particularly welcome interest from businesses that have opportunities for students who could work within their companies on internships during the summer months between July and September next year.
Mark Woodward, managing director of Clitheroe-based The Printed Cup Company Limited, said: “We have had several Lancaster students do great project work for us over the last few years. Computing and Communications student Josh helped our business by increasing the functionality of our order tracking system, enabling us to offer a better service to our customers.”
Pam Pickles, student employability manager at Lancaster University’s Faculty of Science and Technology, said: “Student internships are a great cost-effective way for businesses to gain new ideas and insights from young, enthusiastic and self-motivated people.
Interns are employed and paid by the university at a cost of £1,150+VAT per month to the business. Some part-funding is available for eligible companies. As well as full-time summer internship the university has a number of opportunities to benefit from our students.
