Language and employability skills provider Twin has launched a volunteering program to meet demand for work experience after Brexit rules took away opportunities for European students.
The volunteering program, lasting up to six-weeks, is open to any students on standard, six-month UK visitor visas, and offers experiences in retail, the arts and culture, administration, sports, animal care, marketing and more.
“The level of demand for internships for the UK has remained high despite Brexit, but the available routes to come to the UK to gain experience have been seriously limited,” James Ong-Fox, project manager at Twin Group, explained.
Pre-Brexit, under freedom of movements in the EU, students from the continent could come to the UK to work. Embassies in London have previously raised the issue.
