Students find university education detached from the industry. They want to learn the skills that are really needed by companies. And they want to experiment with different roles before deciding what job they want.

On the other side, it’s harder for companies to hire modern workers. They need to be involved with the student community as early as possible to avoid losing touch.

That’s why short-term internships are becoming popular. But there’s a lot of noise and traps around internships.

We created intern.camp to highlight the right short-term internships. The internships where the companies aren’t looking for free labour, but want students to learn, grow and build their careers.
