Stintworth is a platform that helps students and career-seekers gain real experience by working on projects with companies - without needing a traditional job or internship.
You join the platform, browse available projects, and match with companies offering experience in exchange for mentorship, training, or skill-building - no money changes hands.
No - Stintworth is not an employer or recruiter. We simply connect people for non-paid, skills-based work exchanges.
It’s a flexible exchange where you offer your time and skills in return for learning, mentorship, or real-world exposure - instead of money.
Real experience, stronger CVs, new skills, industry insight, and connections - all without needing a paid job to get started.
Not exactly. There’s no employment contract, and you're not volunteering for a charity. It's a flexible, agreement-based exchange focused on learning and growth.
It’s free for students to sign up and access the platform. Career-seekers pay a small monthly fee to take part in live projects - this helps ensure quality, commitment, and continued development of the platform. Companies pay to list opportunities.
Not at all. Stintworth is designed to help you get that first experience, no matter where you're starting from.
We cover a wide range - including marketing, tech, design, business, content creation, and more. New industries are added regularly.
No - these are unpaid, non-monetary exchanges. You gain experience, training, and mentorship instead of money.
You’ll build your CV, develop real skills, and grow your professional network - all through hands-on experience.
Every project includes a clear barter agreement, flexible hours, and defined expectations. You can leave at any time, and both sides must agree to fair value.
Yes - but due to visa rules, international students can only access our simulation projects, not live projects with companies.
You can leave any project at any time - no penalties, no pressure. It's all about experience, not obligation.
It’s a self-paced, industry-style task designed to help you gain experience without working with a real company. Great for building your portfolio and staying legally compliant.
To access motivated early-career talent, support student development, and complete flexible, low-risk projects - all without traditional hiring.
Because no money is exchanged, there’s no employment relationship or obligation to pay minimum wage. Barter agreements are signed to protect both sides.
Yes - but it's not free labour. Students receive clear, non-monetary value like mentorship, skill-building, and portfolio experience.
No - startups, freelancers, and small teams are welcome. As long as you're a registered company that will offer genuine learning value, you can take part.
Students apply to your project through the platform. You review their profile, skills, and goals - and only move forward if it’s a good fit.
Yes - every project includes a pre-drafted barter agreement signed by both parties via DocuSign. It outlines expectations, responsibilities, and protects both sides.
It sets out what the student will offer (e.g. time, support) and what they’ll receive in return (e.g. mentorship, feedback). There’s no money involved, and both sides agree before starting.
Yes - either side can end a project at any time, no strings attached. Stintworth is designed to be flexible and risk-free.
Live Projects are real opportunities with companies - you work directly with them, gaining hands-on experience, mentorship, and networking. Simulations are self-paced tasks designed by Stintworth in collaboration with industry experts.
They mimic real-world challenges and workflows so you can build practical skills and portfolio pieces - even when live projects aren’t available. Every simulation is built to reflect genuine workplace tasks, ensuring your experience is relevant and meaningful.
We require clear agreements, flexible hours, and defined outcomes. Students review companies, and no one is locked into anything. Transparency and choice are built into the platform.
Just head to stintworth.com, click "Join", and follow the steps to create your profile - it only takes a couple of minutes.
No - but you’ll need one to access live projects. Without it, you’ll still be able to explore the platform and complete simulations.
You can access Stintworth’s simulation projects, which offer valuable, visa-safe experience. Live projects with companies are restricted due to visa regulations.
Yes - your profile acts as a living portfolio. Every project you complete helps showcase your skills and growth to future employers.
Absolutely. We take privacy seriously and store your data securely in line with GDPR and best practice standards.
You’ll get access to the platform, where you can explore projects, update your profile, and start applying when you’re ready.
It depends - some are just a few hours, others may run for several weeks. All timelines are clearly stated upfront.
No problem - you can complete a simulation project while we bring in more opportunities. We’re adding new industries all the time.
Yes - after a project ends, both sides can leave a review. It helps build trust and keeps the platform fair and transparent.
