English Plus Work experience: Business

PRESENTATION

This programme gives you the opportunity to take an English language course followed by an internship spent working in a company in Brighton or the surrounding area. It gives you a chance to practise your English in a real working environment and you will hopefully gain experience that will help you to get a job.

You study English at GEOS English Academy first. This can be General English or our Exam Preparation Course. After your English language course has finished, you move on to your internship.

When can you do your internship?

We can arrange an internship at any time of year, but remember that many English companies close for a few weeks at Christmas time.

You would normally begin your internship as soon as your English language course finishes. You need a good intermediate level of English before your internship begins.

We work with Stages UK, a work placement agency that has been arranging internships in the Brighton area since 1992. They have extensive contacts with local companies and have experience of placing students from all over the world.

Combining your English studies with an internship in a local business is the perfect way to improve your general and business English, to gain business experience and to interact with English people in the workplace.

Internships in local Brighton companies (unpaid placement).
