Step

The London Innovation Placement Programme is dedicated to finding challenging London based projects in SME's for ambitious students, postgraduates and graduates. If you’ve got the passion and the can-do attitude we’re looking for, you could be responsible for the management of a key development project, and enjoy the chance to create and innovate for employers who genuinely value your skills.

Project examples include prototype design, creating new products,

 

researching new markets and developing new software - providing practical work experience for your CV and future job applications. Projects may also be eligible for academic support, providing even more depth to your placement experience.

Placement length is flexible, ranging from 4-12 week summer placements through to year out internship opportunities for recent graduates or for those in full time education and looking for a complementary year out. In summer placements, you will be paid a training salary of £220 per week (NI and tax free) and for an internship you can expect to receive a salary of between £12,000 and £16,000 per annum, subject to tax and NI.
