Traineeships
We encourage alumni who wish to participate in a traineeship or work placement abroad to seek their own opportunities. Our UEL Career Zone has useful resources for doing so such as the GoinGlobal Platform, an online database that helps new and experienced job seekers find opportunities both at home and abroad. Global Experiences occasionally offers various opportunities through our academic partner institutions that are subject to availability and vary by year, but we if you’re interested in sector-related, industry-specific traineeships, you can access the CareerZone/GoinGlobal portal to support you in finding your own placement. Once you have found and secured your placement, you can reach out to the Global Experiences who can support you in applying for funding.
