Careers

InternMe is a pilot initiative at LSHTM designed to provide you with career-enhancing micro-internship opportunities.   

InternMe aims to mitigate some of the barriers you might otherwise face in (a) securing and undertaking relevant work experience by offering paid, flexible opportunities that accommodate your academic commitments; and (b) experience in transitioning into professional employment due to not having relevant work experiences and knowledge.  

The project aims to provide you with essential career enhancing and management skills, confidence, experiences, and professional networks and opportunities that will help prepare you for graduation and increase your likelihood of success in your chosen career.
