Learn. Experience. Create. Grow.

Practical Work Experience for Students, Graduates and Researchers from the UK and Around the World

Education provides knowledge.

Experience develops capability.

Opportunity creates careers.

At Rehoben Inspiraxion Media (RIM), we believe talented people should have opportunities to apply what they learn, develop professional confidence and gain meaningful experience within real working environments.

The RIM Global Placement Programme™ provides structured placement, internship, work-experience and research opportunities for college students, university students, graduates and researchers from the United Kingdom and around the world.

Through the programme, participants can gain exposure to the work of a growing international creative, media, marketing and communications organisation while developing practical skills relevant to their education and future careers.

Our ambition is simple: To help bridge the gap between education and professional experience.

Whether you are a student looking for your first meaningful industry experience, a graduate seeking to strengthen your professional portfolio, a researcher looking for an industry environment in which to explore ideas, or an educational institution seeking placement opportunities for your students, RIM welcomes the opportunity to explore how we can work together.

FROM EDUCATION TO EXPERIENCE

Turning Knowledge Into Practical Capability

Academic achievement is important. But employers increasingly look for something more: the ability to apply knowledge in real situations.

Students and graduates need opportunities to understand how organisations operate, how projects are developed, how teams collaborate, how deadlines are managed, how clients and stakeholders are supported and how ideas become measurable outcomes.

The RIM Global Placement Programme™ is designed to create opportunities for participants to develop this practical understanding. Depending on the placement, participants may have opportunities to observe, support or contribute to projects across RIM’s multidisciplinary activities.

RIM’s work spans strategic communications, creative production, marketing and promotion, broadcasting, global distribution, brand development and training. This multidisciplinary environment can provide participants with exposure to different professional functions while helping them understand how those functions work together.

The RIM Global Placement Programme™ is designed to accommodate participants at different stages of their educational and professional development.

  • International students and graduates seeking appropriate professional experience.
  • Creative and media students developing professional portfolios.
  • Participants referred or nominated by universities, colleges, training organisations and other educational institutions.

MORE THAN WORK EXPERIENCE

Developing Skills for the Professional World

A meaningful placement should provide more than another line on a CV. It should help participants understand themselves, their abilities and the professional environment they hope to enter.

  • Professional communication
  • Teamwork and collaboration
  • Creative thinking
  • Problem solving
  • Project management
  • Research skills
  • Digital skills
  • Presentation skills
  • Time management
  • Commercial awareness
  • Professional confidence
  • Cross-cultural communication
  • Leadership potential
  • Portfolio development

Our objective is to help participants leave their placement with greater understanding of the professional world and greater confidence in the value they can contribute.

LEARN THROUGH REAL PROJECTS

Experience That Connects With the Professional World

Where appropriate, placements may involve participation in or observation of real RIM projects. Rather than separating learning completely from professional practice, we want participants to understand how projects develop from ideas into outcomes.

RIM’s creative methodology moves through Discover, Define, Create, Refine, Connect and Grow – from understanding objectives and audiences through production, post-production, distribution and long-term engagement.

  • Research opportunities
  • Develop ideas
  • Create strategies
  • Plan projects
  • Produce content
  • Communicate with stakeholders
  • Solve problems
  • Respond to feedback
  • Meet deadlines
  • Evaluate outcomes
  • Prepare work for audiences and markets

The exact experience will depend on the participant’s discipline, level of study, placement objectives and the projects available during the placement period.

BUILD YOUR PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO

Turn Experience Into Evidence of What You Can Do

For students and graduates entering competitive industries, being able to demonstrate practical capability can be extremely valuable.

Where project confidentiality, client permissions and intellectual-property requirements allow, participants may be able to develop appropriate evidence of their work and contribution for their professional portfolio.

  • Creative projects
  • Research
  • Campaign development
  • Film or media production
  • Digital content
  • Marketing
  • Communications
  • Business projects
  • Presentations
  • Project reports
  • Professional reflection

The objective is not simply to say: “I completed a placement.” It is to be able to explain: “This is what I learned. This is what I contributed. This is how I developed.”

FOR UNIVERSITY & COLLEGE STUDENTS

Build Experience Alongside Your Education

If your course requires an industry placement, professional practice module, internship, work-based learning experience or practical project, RIM may be able to provide an appropriate placement opportunity subject to availability and suitability.

We understand that educational placements should support learning outcomes as well as professional development. Where appropriate, we can work with the student and their institution to understand:

  • Course requirements
  • Placement objectives
  • Learning outcomes
  • Placement duration
  • Required hours
  • Supervisor requirements
  • Assessment requirements
  • Progress reviews
  • Institutional documentation
  • End-of-placement feedback

Our objective is to create a structured experience that complements the student’s academic programme while introducing them to professional practice.

FOR GRADUATES

Gain Experience. Strengthen Your Portfolio. Prepare for Your Next Opportunity.

Graduating is an important achievement. But entering the professional world can be challenging when employers ask for experience before giving candidates the opportunity to gain it.

The RIM Global Placement Programme™ seeks to help reduce that gap. Graduate placements may provide opportunities to strengthen practical skills, build confidence, develop professional networks and gain greater understanding of how a multidisciplinary international creative organisation operates.

For graduates changing careers or entering the creative, media, marketing, communications, technology or business sectors, a placement may also provide an opportunity to explore where their skills can create the greatest value.

FOR RESEARCHERS

Connecting Research With Industry

Research can create even greater value when knowledge connects with practice. RIM welcomes conversations with postgraduate researchers, doctoral candidates, academics and research institutions interested in areas connected with our work.

  • Industry-based research
  • Applied research projects
  • Creative-industry studies
  • Audience and market research
  • African and diaspora media research
  • Digital communication
  • Artificial intelligence and creative technologies
  • International marketing
  • Cultural research
  • Economic and creative-industry development
  • Research communication
  • Knowledge exchange
  • Collaborative publications or educational content where appropriate

Our aim is to encourage a productive relationship between research, creativity, industry and innovation.

FOR UNIVERSITIES, COLLEGES & EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

A Placement Partner for Your Students

RIM welcomes partnerships with universities, colleges and educational institutions seeking organisations capable of providing relevant professional exposure for their students.

Through the RIM Global Placement Programme™, we want to extend RIM’s relationship with education beyond communications services and create opportunities for education-to-industry collaboration.

  • Student placements
  • Work experience
  • Internships
  • Professional practice programmes
  • Industry projects
  • Research placements
  • Postgraduate projects
  • Knowledge exchange
  • Creative collaborations
  • Industry mentoring
  • Guest professional engagement
  • International educational collaboration

Where appropriate, we can discuss placement objectives with the institution and develop an arrangement aligned with the student’s programme and RIM’s available projects and supervision capacity.

INTERNATIONAL PLACEMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Building Stronger Connections Between Education and Industry

The RIM Global Placement Programme™ forms part of a wider ambition to build meaningful relationships between universities, colleges, researchers, students, graduates, industry professionals, creative organisations, businesses, governments, technology organisations and international partners.
