Access a bigger professional market
Work with a US team, earn in dollars and build contacts beyond the UK. Whether you want a placement year, a graduate internship or professional training, we arrange a role connected to your background.
Build a placement year around useful technical work
If you are studying in the UK, bring your placement-year dates and any university requirements on supervision or assessment. Explain the technical work you want to develop, whether that is software, testing, data preparation or business intelligence. We arrange the paid role and help you prepare for the employer’s technical conversation.
The work you could do
We match your background to the employer and role. Typical areas of work include:
- Contribute to supervised software and web development
- Help prepare test plans and document quality checks
- Explore cybersecurity analysis within an agreed scope
- Prepare data, SQL queries and business-intelligence analysis
Prepare for your employer interviews
Computing, engineering, information systems, mathematics and relevant analytical study or experience.
Prepare two or three concise project examples. Explain the problem, the tools you used, your own contribution and how you checked the result. A repository or portfolio can help when appropriate, but remove confidential data and do not imply that a team project was entirely your work.
Your paid placement, arranged before departure
Aureus prepares you for employer interviews, secures your paid placement and coordinates the J-1 process. Your proposal sets out the programme fee and guarantee before you enrol; your employer offer confirms the role, hours, location and pay. Budget separately for travel and living costs where these are not included.
Questions for your next step
Does this have to start in the US summer?+
Tell us the dates that fit your course or graduation. Start dates are assessed with the host and programme; do not assume every opportunity follows a summer recruitment cycle.
