Background:
The Graduate Internship Scheme provides a fixed-term employment opportunity for students
who have successfully graduated to Degree level from the University of Bolton. This
opportunity is open to UoB graduates who have completed during the academic year
2015/16.
The Scheme is intended for graduates to gain valuable experience of working within a busy
customer facing environment. The University’s intention is to create opportunities across a
number of functions, which will enable graduates from a range of disciplines to gain and
develop transferable skills within the work environment.
The primary contact for the scheme will be the Head of Careers and Employability. The
placement, will however, have an identified line manager within the dedicated Academic

University’s business processes. In particular, certain mandatory training will be put in place
and a mentor allocated, where it is considered appropriate.
The role holder, in conjunction with their line manager, will be expected to continually
monitor and evaluate their progress to be able to demonstrate a transferable skills-set at the
completion of the placement with the University.

legislative Acts relating to Data Protection, Freedom of Information and Bribery.
Main Function of the Internship:
The aim is to give the role holder an opportunity to encounter a wide range of
internal/external activities that are undertaken on a day to day basis within the University.
This is an opportunity for recent University of Bolton graduates to develop the skills and
experience required for many potential graduate professions.
The role will require interaction with University staff, students, graduates and organisations
external to the institution. The post holder will also need to be able to work outside of normal
hours when required.
