i live in manchester and i am currently in college but i really dont see where the coure i am doing will take me in life and how it will get me where i want to be.i just wondered what qualifications and age you habe to be to do the internhip because this would be perfect for me also because i am a huge fan of vivienne westwood.
Hi Nicole, generally you need to be over 16 and no specific qualifications unless specified in the criteria, but it wouldn’t hurt to email them and ask. If I were you I would write an email letting them know a bit about you and why you would like to intern, good luck.
Can you get the address of the head office ?
Thanks in advance.

I got your contact from your website and my friend suggested your service.
One of the UK clothing retail company is ready to offer me unpaid internship for 3 months duration and after my internship get’s over, the company is ready to sponsor for my visa with work permit. At the same time, they are not ready to sponsor visa for 3 months internship.
Now, what kind of visa I can apply for to do my 3 months internship and pls guide me too.
I can show my well bank balance and enough funds for the process.
I don’t wont to miss this opportunities from them and I wish to attend the 3 months internship.
Will be looking for your mail.
Thx,
Sanjay
Hi Sanjay, I am afraid I don’t know anything about this area, is there an information centre in India you can go to for advice? Or perhaps your university has someone who can help you in the career’s service. This website may also have some information: http://www.globalvisas.com/uk_immigration/student_internship_visa.html. Sorry I can’t help any more, good luck, Pearl
