Employer Specific FAQs

Is there a charge for the service?

There is no charge for our introduction service. We are interested in gaining valuable new contacts which will be able to supply work experience (both paid and unpaid) to our students. However we do ask that you assist your student whilst on placement, this can be in the form of travel expenses (for Internship and International Work Trial students), a training allowance of £250 per month (Graduate Training Programme) or minimum wage (Anglo Training Experience and Action for Employment).

Why take a student on work experience?

Students are keen to develop new skills, tend to be very hard working and are anxious to implement the skills that they have gained whilst studying, in a practical environment. They may already have qualifications that will enhance your work force and are extremely cost efficient.

Where do the students come from?

Our client base is international. We have links with students in many different and diverse countries, from Uzbekistan to the USA. Twin have acted as representatives to Work Permits (UK) since 1997 and this allows us to apply for work permits on behalf of employers.

What qualifications do students have?

Our students come from many academic backgrounds. The International Work Trial students are younger clients, usually looking for their first work experience. However the Internship Programme and our new Graduate Training Programme attract students that are either at university or have graduated. We receive bookings from students that have studied a wide range of subjects, many with valuable work experience already.

Will I meet the student before accepting them?

We actively encourage that ALL of our students on International Work Trials, Internship Programme and Graduate Training Programme have formal interviews before they commence their placement. This allows the host company to assess their suitability and the student to ask any questions they may have. We can also arrange telephone interviews so host companies can assess levels of spoken English. Anglo Training Experience and Action for Employment students only travel to the county when they are been accepted by the host company. Therefore formal interviews are not possible, but we are happy to arrange telephone interviews prior to arrival.

" Jac Travel have been working with Twin for a considerable amount of time now. During which we have built up a good working relationship. I have always found Twin to be extremely helpful. "

" Choice Hotels Europe owns, managed and franchise over 500 hotels in Europe, 85 of them in the UK. We have been co-operating with Twin UK for the past 18 months and have recruited through them over a hundred applicants, mainly from East Europe. The benefits of these arrangements are for us numerous: in terms of paper work, selection, recruitment… All in all we have and continue to benefit greatly from their assistance. The applicants introduced have been on the whole very good and some of the students from the new EU countries have decided to come back to us on a permanent basis. However, even with the expansion of Europe, we still want carrying on working with Twin as it makes our lives (and specifically for our hotels) much easier. "

" I work with Ursula at Twin. I have to admit there are not many service companies that impress me with their ability to respond so quickly and flex to my needs. Ursula is really fantastic and I know she will always deliver for me. Our first intern that came through was professional, charming, hardworking and become a very important part of our marketing function. Based on this I went back immediately for another intern. Without sounding too effusive having Twin around is a very big asset for my role at Value Click. Thanks again and keep up the good work. "

Commission Junction (a ValueClick company)

" Southwark Cathedral first approached TWIN in August 2004. We were seeking your assistance in promoting opportunities to foreign students to undertake voluntary work experience at Southwark Cathedral, whilst at the same time improving their English language skills… ...From the initial student introduction, through to interview and placement, and their conclusion here, I have always found my involvement with TWIN to be courteous and efficient… ...It is hoped that the relationship established with TWIN will be on-going for the mutual benefit of all parties involved. Certainly the students, from their initial contact, through to their introductions with their host families, intensive training week before placement, and the on-going support whilst undertaking their periods of placement to conclusion, have always greatly appreciated the help received from your organisation.
