Win a paid Skyscanner 12-week internship in Edinburgh, Glasgow or London! As a Skyscanner intern, you'll gain valuable hands-on experience in a fast-paced environment. You'll work alongside talented professionals and contribute to innovative projects that help shape the future of travel.
You'll also have access to exclusive networking opportunities with senior colleagues, lunch with a C-Suite colleague and receive £500 to spend on travel!
At Skyscanner, an interest in technology and travel is an absolute must. If you have this in bucketloads, you could be the Software Engineering Undergraduate of the Year.
You will need to sit a coding test as part of the application process; however, if your technical skills are not particularly proficient, you shouldn't worry. You are mainly assessed on your ambition, drive to develop your skills, and ability to stretch yourself (even if that means failing at times). Through this attitude, you can become world-class, along with the guidance and support of the team at Skyscanner.
Beyond this, Skyscanner wants to know about who you are as a person. Essentially, are you a kind and curious person who wants to help others?
Our winner will be:
It would be ideal if you have some previous work experience in tech, but if you don’t have any formal work experience, we want to hear how your other experiences, interests and hobbies relate to the tech industry.
