Made Smarter Internship – Information for applicants

  • The success of embedding digital transformation, analysing the data generated by new systems or supporting new technological processes in an organisation is often dependent upon the skills and knowledge available.
  • A Made Smarter internship matches interns that have relevant technical experience and knowledge, with a SME or micro organisation lacking the resource to adopt digital technologies and methodologies.
  • The intern is employed and supervised by the business and supported by the Made Smarter Adoption team from London and Partners.
  • The internship will focus on a project over a period of up to 12-weeks full time (part-time options may also be available).
  • The funded intern will work on a defined project during that period to support digital technology adoption in the company.
