Companies are being invited to inject fresh talent into the workplace – and give graduates their first step on the career ladder - by enrolling in a new internship programme run by the University of East Anglia.

The Graduate Intern Programme will allow recent graduates to work full or part time, for between four and 12 weeks, at a business in the eastern region.

The programme hopes to build on the success of a similar programme at UEA which began in 2009, which saw hundreds of graduates placed with companies.

For further details on the scheme, telephone 01603 593917, email internship@uea.ac.uk, or visit www.uea.ac.uk/internships
