CATALYST INTERNSHIP SERVICE
Catalyst Internship Service is Plymouth
University’s simple route to increasing our
graduates’ employability and ensuring that
graduate vacancies are being filled. Our
aim is to help all active elements – students,
employers and academics – to come
together and recognise individual assets that
combined would create a smarter workforce
in the South West and across the UK.
Available now for a limited period, our
programme aims to provide smaller
businesses with an injection of fresh new
talent not always accessible by firms with
limited resources.
This collaborative partnership between
Santander and Plymouth University, will part-
fund a basic salary for the graduate intern at
a time when graduate unemployment and
underemployment is of concern.
Key facts:
• Internship duration: minimum of 12 weeks.
• Payment to the graduate intern via the
employer: minimum wage expected,
proposing £250-£300 per week.
• Eligible businesses will be provided with
£1500 towards the graduate intern’s salary
(paid in two half payments; one shortly
after the start of employment and the
second after 6 weeks).
• Open to 2014/15 graduates from
Plymouth University.
We can tailor our service to your needs,
so get in touch!

2. CATALYST TESTIMONIALS
I first went to Catalyst after seeing a few of their posts on
Facebook. It was a real game changer for me, within two weeks
I had three interviews lined up. They helped me to update my
CV, and each cover letter to suit the various jobs. Every week
they gave me new jobs to apply for!
They also provided me with help on my interview techniques
which, for me is one of the main reasons I have my current job.
This of course was all set up by Catalyst.
The team are friendly, approachable and absolute stars in
all honesty!
If you are struggling or looking for work then you would be
silly not to use them. They are a real asset to the university
and us as graduates.
Laura – 2014 Graduate
I would like to thank you for the service you have provided
in helping me to find the right person for our vacancy.
The applicants were of a high standard and it was difficult to
choose between them.
Also thanks for providing the interview room, that worked
very well with the introductions by your staff.
