Workfinder's mission is to democratise work experience by giving students, whatever their background, access to work experience at the UK's exciting growth companies. We believe that by mobilising this talented and bright population, we will help to bridge the skills gap that many of the UK's businesses are facing.This summer, we face a unique situation. Many start-ups and scale-ups have seen a significant impact to their workforce as a result of COVID-19 and are not considering taking in-person interns this summer. The larger employers are reviewing their structured summer work experience programs and some are already cancelled with more cancellations expected.According to [ISE -Institute of Student Employers][0] - 68% of 'in person' work experience this summer has been cancelled due to Covid-19\.This is a problem because millions of students are stuck at home with the prospect of no work experience this summer. Recent graduates have seen their graduate placement schemes cancelled. They are faced with the prospect of COVID-19 impacting their future employment prospects as well as their academic study. As a result, they are available to do remote work experience and are extremely motivated to do so.The UK's growth companies have an immediate need for talented, bright students to help them get them through this time when their resources and budgets are severely limited and they are more accustomed to working remotely.The Workfinder app matches students with companies to do two-week remote work projects that are highly relevant to both sides. Projects include creating digital marketing content for social media channels, user testing, branding and mobile web design, competitor landscape analysis and many more. Our matching algorithm ensures we match the right students with the right companies.We will be launching across the UK this summer.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION HEREThis summer we successfully launched our remote work experience with 9 programmes. With significant take up by small and micro businesses in particular this led to over 2,000 opportunities on the platform for students.

Workfinder的使命是通过为学生提供在英国令人兴奋的成长型公司工作的机会，使工作经验民主化，无论他们的背景如何。我们相信，通过动员这些有才华和聪明的人口，我们将有助于弥合许多英国企业面临的技能差距。今年夏天，我们面临着一个独特的局面。许多初创企业和规模扩大的企业都看到了新冠肺炎对其员工队伍的重大影响，因此今年夏天不考虑亲自实习。较大的雇主正在审查他们的结构化暑期工作体验项目，其中一些已经被取消，预计还会有更多的项目被取消。根据ISE -学生雇主研究所的数据，由于Covid-19，今年夏天68%的“亲自”工作经验已被取消。这是一个问题，因为数以百万计的学生被困在家里，今年夏天没有工作经验的前景。应届毕业生的毕业生就业计划已被取消。他们面临着新冠肺炎影响未来就业前景和学业的前景。因此，他们可以进行远程工作体验，并且非常有动力这样做。英国的成长型公司迫切需要有才华、聪明的学生来帮助他们度过这段时间，因为他们的资源和预算严重有限，而且他们更习惯于远程工作。Workfinder应用程序将学生与公司配对，让他们做两周的远程工作项目，这些项目与双方都高度相关。项目包括为社交媒体渠道创建数字营销内容，用户测试，品牌和移动网页设计，竞争对手景观分析等等。我们的匹配算法确保我们将合适的学生与合适的公司相匹配。今年夏天，我们将在全英国推出。今年夏天，我们成功推出了9个远程工作体验项目。特别是小微企业的大量参与，为学生提供了超过2000个机会。由于新冠肺炎疫情，许多毕业生的就业计划被取消。他们面临着新冠肺炎影响未来就业前景和学业的前景。因此，他们可以进行远程工作体验，并且非常有动力这样做。与此同时，小型和成长中的企业迫切需要有才华、聪明的学生来帮助他们度过资源和预算严重有限、习惯于远程工作的这段时间。Workfinder应用程序将学生与公司进行匹配，让他们做与双方都高度相关的远程工作项目。项目包括为社交媒体渠道创建数字营销内容，用户测试，品牌和移动网页设计，竞争对手景观分析等等。我们的匹配算法确保我们将合适的学生与合适的公司相匹配。我们相信，通过动员这些有才华和聪明的人口，我们将帮助弥合许多英国企业面临的技能差距，并支持年轻人才实现他们的职业抱负和潜力。
