It comes after a report by independent think-tank, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, recommended that public and private sector organisations should expand their investment in digital recruitment services to enhance access to careers information and potential employers for Europeans looking to enter the workplace for the first time.
The Vodafone Foundation's funding will be used to help Intern Avenue develop a mobile service to support the organisation's existing web-based tools.
Vodafone Group Foundation director Andrew Dunnett said: "The next generation in the European workplace was born digital and thinks mobile, with smartphones and apps at the centre of daily life. Finding the right work opportunity is tough. Intern Avenue can really make a difference, and we're delighted to help them expand across Europe and into mobile."
