“The Careers Service assisted with my application as I applied to the company through them, and they supported me with the overall job offer process. The team helped me secure an extension of my internship from the initial eight weeks to 11 weeks; an extra three weeks in which I was also able to work on a full-time basis.

“As a result of this internship, I have been offered a permanent role with the company, and I am excited to learn more and build on my experience.”
