Great news for aspiring students and businesses everywhere.  Alexis Sheldon form Upstream came to the Answer English offices to update us on his many projects.  One of them is an exciting and fresh approach to Interning in the UK.  Together with his business partner Jose, they have set up Intern Town to help people looking to gain work experience in the UK find potenial internships.  However whereas many firms charge the Intern for the work placement, with Intern Town you can find a work placement for FREE!

This is fantastic news for people looking to intern and gain work experience in a certain field.  Doing an internship can help you get a taste for an industry, gain valuable market knowledge and give you a better chance of finding paid-work in the future.  More and more employers are looking for students that have got relevant work experience.  Doing an internship is a sure way to do that and stand out from the rest. 

The Intern Town site will be up and running in the next few weeks, so if you are looking to gain some experience in a particular industry, go online and put up your details at: Intern Town
