Working in partnership with top employers in the UK and around the world, the ICAEW Internship Scheme aims to offer 50 penultimate year university students studying in the UK a paid internship. Internships will be available across a range of organisations which you can use to start a career as a chartered accountant.
Who is eligible?
You will be in your penultimate year of university (year two of a three-year degree or year three of a four-year degree). You do not need to be studying accounting, finance, or business - in fact, many employers actively seek diversity in their recruitment, so having a non-accountancy background is welcomed. We particularly welcome applications from those currently underrepresented in the accountancy profession, such as women and non-binary people, students from a low socio-economic background, and students with a Black Heritage background.
Duration: Typically 6 weeks, but this can vary depending on the employer you join.
Commitment: Minimum of 15 hours per week, but again this can vary by employer.
What’s included:
- The chance to develop your professional skills including communication, problem solving, decision making, and team working.
- Work on a live business project with other interns or colleagues, including a mentor to support you.
- Fully funded ICAEW CFAB module, including tuition and exam fees.
What is the application process like?
The first step is a situational strengths assessment to understand how you approach different situations you could face in the workplace. If you are successful, you will then be asked to complete a pre-recorded video interview, before being matched with an employer.
This process is commonly used in recruitment so even if you aren’t successful, you will receive a feedback report and have gained valuable experience in the assessment process.
