The Fubra Blog
We’re looking for interns
The Department for Business, Innovation & Skills today took the wraps off their new online initiative: the Graduate Talent Pool. The idea is simple — provide a single location where graduates (and soon-to-be graduates) can go to look for internships, and a place for companies, looking to beef up their graduate recruitment, to advertise their current intern vacancies. Fubra has got on board with the scheme and is advertising a number of exciting positions.
While all of our positions are unpaid (except for expenses) they offer great experience working within a young, exciting new media company, the chance to expand the student’s portfolio, as well as the possibility of a paid position if we’re impressed during the internship.
One of the positions we’re advertising is for someone to get involved with the php-govtalk project. There are loads of different government departments using the GovTalk Message Envelope and we have plans to implement a range of different extensions. We’re looking for someone to take charge of one of the extensions — whichever one looks most interesting to the person in question — and develop it for use as part of our online accounting system Clear Books. While we will be providing mentoring, support and office space for the developer this position will give the intern a great deal of flexibility, autonomy and responsibility. It’s a great chance to get involved with an exciting, ground breaking project while building up a working portfolio!
