Looking for ways to bolster your CV, earn some money and get real-world experience? Well, DMU’s new Accelerated Career Enhancement (ACE) Internship scheme may just be for you.
Created by DMU’s award-winning Careers Team, the scheme offers students the opportunity to gain six weeks of paid work experience in the summer of 2024.
There are more than 100 hybrid, on-site and remote ACE Internship roles across a range of disciples at businesses based in the Midlands, including Leicester Riders, Leicester City Council and right here at DMU.
Although temporary, these opportunities will enable you to build further employability skills, expand your contacts and experience within your chosen industry, and may even lead to longer-term roles within your host companies afterwards.

Students have until Thursday 14 December to apply.
