Student Profile
Hear from Alice Monteiro about her apprenticeship at Darkstar Tattoo & Piercing.
An internship offers a Bristol student the opportunity for career exploration and development, and the ability to learn new skills. It offers you, the employer, the opportunity to bring new ideas and energy into the workplace, develop talent and potentially build a pipeline for future full-time employees.
According to NACE Research’s Internship & Co-op Survey, employers made full-time offers to almost 65% of their interns, with 80% accepting those offers. Employees who completed an internship are also more likely to be with the company at both one-year and five-year retention benchmarks.

Helpful materials
Internships serve as an important bridge from college to career. NACE research has demonstrated that internship experiences are avenues to increased skills, expanded networks, and enhanced social capital, and offer direct pathways to job offers and jobs.
Help spread the word about internships
