In just a few weeks, many college kids will be saying goodbye to their collegiate home of four years and moving into the real world. No more carefree nights spent chatting with roommates, late night visits to the dining hall, stressful class loads, or fun weekend escapades on and around campus. Unfortunately, the U.S. economy, and even the world economy, is still suffering. According to the NY Times, only 53% of college graduates in the U.S. from the classes 2006-2012 are employed full-time and places like the U.K. are facing the highest youth unemployment rate since 1992. How are college graduates supposed to find work in such a dismal economic environment?
That is where Enternships comes in. Entrepreneurship is a great option for college grads, something that Oxford graduate, Rajeeb Dey, is well aware of. Dey founded Enternships in 2009 hoping to connect talented students and graduates with ambitious startups and small businesses. Startups on the site include big names like Zipcar, Groupon, and Paypal, as well as a host of smaller companies located in cities around the world.
What began as a UK-based company is now taking the world by storm. Alain Desmier, the Commercial Director at Enternships, explains, “We really want to encourage students and graduates from all over the world into startups and small companies.” With employment opportunities primarily in London, Enternships is in the process of expanding their service to cities like San Francisco, New York, Ab Kettleby, Mumbai, Paris, and Boston.
