Internships
Graduate internships
Many employers, from large companies to small businesses and from government departments to charities, are now offering internships to graduates. These are short-term, career-related posts which can start at any time of year and typically last around three to six months. They offer a good way to gain initial experience or to try out a career area that interests you.

Virtual internships
Virtual internships are flexible, online opportunities, giving you the opportunity to undertake remote experience. Many virtual internships exist in the fields of IT, sales, journalism, marketing, and software development.
Some employers will give you project work/tasks to complete over a period of time, and you may have regular catch-ups and support from the employer during your virtual internship.
Depending on the sector and nature of the role, you may not be able to undertake all the elements of a real internship, due to client / patient confidentiality. For example, handling client casefiles for a law firm. However, you are still able to experience some of the work of a trainee and the function of the business.
