This one-day conference at the University of Birmingham brought together industry experts, practitioners, and professionals to share knowledge, best practices, and information about student internships. The conference included sessions on defining student interns from a legal perspective, why the University of Birmingham introduced an intern program, workshops on working with interns and intern employment law, and best practices for supporting interns before, during, and after their placements. The goal was to provide a forum for organizations that offer internships to network and discuss internship-related topics.
