"A key component of Swinburne’s strategy is to provide our students with work experience before they graduate- this is a measured performance metric for the university as a whole. Specifically,  Swinburne’s Global Engagement strategy aims to support students with global experience, including student participation in credit-bearing international internships, including those enabled via government mobility funding such as the New Colombo Plan, as a KPI for global engagement."

“The Intern Group's international internship programs provide Tec de Monterrey students with the opportunity to gain meaningful professional experience abroad, often within dynamic and fast-growing companies in the UK. These experiences help students deepen and apply their knowledge, build global competitiveness, and develop an international outlook. At the same time, they foster intercultural collaboration and strengthen the ties between our two countries.”

"The Intern Group’s program allows our students to gain meaningful international work experience directly tied to their academic studies. The UK internships give students exposure to real-world professional environments, responding to the strong growth in demand from students and creating a mutually beneficial exchange."

SRHE Presentation

In February 2026, The Intern Group presented original research at the Society for Research into Higher Education (SRHE) annual conference - one of the leading forums for academic research in higher education.

Vincent, our Chief Product and Strategy Officer, discussed graduate employability, exploring why universities struggle to produce work-ready graduates, what the evidence says about the role of structured work experience in closing that gap, and sharing primary research around best practice approaches for structuring work experience programs.

Building on this, David Lloyd, our CEO, discussed the commercial reality of scaling these solutions and what it takes to make them accessible to every student. He made the argument that work experience integrated into the degree (work integrated learning, or WIL) and funded by universities, is the only viable path to bridging employability and accessibility.

The clips in this video offer a window into both the research and the thinking behind our approach.
