SEED
Summer Enterprise Experience & Discovery is an innovative, project-based internship scheme for University of Reading students and local / regional business and enterprise.
The Careers Advisory Service co-ordinates SEED to provide students with valuable project based work experience, whilst giving local employers requiring additional help with access to a resourceful pool of talented, willing and able interns.
How Does SEED Work?
SEED is open to ALL first and second-year undergraduates. In addition, it is open to any 3rd year undergraduates or postgraduate students who are a RETURNING student in the forthcoming academic year.
SEED internships are typically eight weeks over the summer, with students working on a specific project. Local businesses and organisations benefit from having access to bright, enthusiastic undergraduates, who are able to dedicate their time and skills to a project that will be of lasting benefit to the company. In return, students gain valuable paid work experience.
