Work experience is ironic in that you need to work in order to get into work! That's why TTC wetranslate believes it's important to provide the opportunity to gain work experience to those who are able to provide quality translations as well as other working skills such as marketing, and multimedia creation.
TTC have worked with Essex University's Internship programme as part of the Employability and Careers Centre. The Essex University Internship Programme is a win win situation as it provides students (including graduates) paid internships as well as companies free additions to their workforce.
The Essex University Internship programme works by paying students out of its own pocket, ensuring that students' travel, and general living expenses are amply covered whilst they are gaining valuable work experience. The companies that these students work for are usually local ones, which have a need for cheap labour: necessary for expansion and strengthening the local economy.
Whilst these small businesses have the need for more workers, they don't always have the money to employ inexperienced people. People who would require many of the company's sparse resources for training and gaining experience (needed in order to do their jobs properly). So these internships will encourage small companies to allocate resources towards training these students and graduates, because these will be the only resources that they would have to 'risk', with Essex University covering the core costs of salary.
'What's the catch?' you might be thinking. well the University of Essex also gains from providing its students paid internships. If its students have real life work experience then they will be more employable in real life and therefore Essex University will be able to boast higher employment rate of post graduates, quite rightly.
