As stated above, the GROW Your Future micro internship scheme aims to support students with limited professional work experience, therefore priority will be given to students who meet this criteria. This includes students who may have already completed a GYF micro internship.
An exciting opportunity has arisen to take part in a Commuting Student Research Micro Internship with the Student Success team. The Student Success team are looking for a reliable and hard-working student to conduct and report on research into the experiences of commuting students at Lancaster University and the barriers they face. The ideal candidate will be a self-starter, with motivation to advocate for others. We are looking for a proactive student who will be willing to share their findings with university staff to further the development of support and programmes for commuting students, with an aim to establish the importance of sense of belonging.
