Improving Accessibility of Internships for Social Mobility
Financial pressures on students are increasing, and internship opportunities are not equally beneficial to all. By Luke Grierson, Third Year, Politics and International Relations.
Many undergraduate internships have barriers such as minimum wage, location in central London, and short duration, which prevent many students from accessing them due to financial, geographic, and social constraints.
If employers are serious about improving social mobility, they must proactively change how their internship opportunities work to make them more accessible.
- Pay fairer wages
- Cover accommodation and transport costs
- Distribute opportunities more evenly across the UK
Disadvantaged students are currently at a loss, and employers must make changes to ensure equal access to internship opportunities.
Author's summary: Internships must be more accessible to improve social mobility.
