Supporting paid internships and apprenticeships in the research sector
22 May 2023

The specialist recruitment site for the sector, Research Jobfinder enables hundreds of organisations to source the most qualified and experienced professionals in research and insight.

As a benefit for MRS Company Partners, a new category has been added entitled Internships/Apprenticeships. MRS Company Partners will now be able to post paid* internship and apprenticeship opportunities, within this new category, for free.

This is a small part of our drive to:

• promote careers in research
• work towards addressing the talent shortage
• increase diversity and inclusion

You can see existing internship and apprecticeship vacancies here.

To take advantage of this opportunity please contact alex.pout@mrs.org.uk

*As per the MRS Inclusion Pledge, only paid internship/apprenticeship opportunities can be posted.

You may also be interested in the MRS-backed Market Research Executive Apprenticeship,  which is suitable for both school leavers aged 18 years and older or as an upskilling pathway to develop employees/workers already within a research role e.g., interviewers. Apprentices will learn to collect, analyse and interpret findings using qualitative and quantitative and digital and non-digital techniques

The apprenticeship standard was created in collaboration with leading agencies and businesses from both public and private sectors, including Ipsos MORI, Maritz, Shift-Learning, Firefish Group, ampersand research, Cello Health Plc, Yonder, Disney, Channel 4, Compare the Market (BGL Group), Transport for West Midlands, House of Commons, and Hackney Council, and has been approved by the Institute of Apprenticeships and Technical Education.
