Why this questionnaire?

We value your experience and would love to hear your story. Sharing your journey can inspire and encourage other employers who are considering taking part in a supported internship programme.

In this questionnaire, we’ll ask about your experience, your organisation’s journey with interns, and your thoughts on supported internships.

This to answer this questionnaire:

When answering, focus on your personal experience and feelings as an individual. Avoid answering “as an organisation entity”. Be honest and straightforward, and feel free to skip any questions you’re not comfortable with or not sure about answering.

Fill-out the questionnaire and use the guidance at the end to send it back to us.

A member of our communication team will write your story based on your answers and get back to you to review it.

Once you’re happy with the story, we’ll publish it on our communication channels. We will always ask for your final approval of the final piece before publishing it anywhere.

If we think your story would be useful to share as part of a specific communication campaign involving outside medias (e.g. an only magazine or in the press), we will contact you and ask for your consent first.
