Strive Internship Scheme

The Strive Internship Scheme is for employers who wish to reduce inequalities in the workforce by providing six-to-eight-week, paid internships over the summer.

Applications for our 2025 programme are now open.

The Strive Internship Scheme has been created in recognition of the employment gap that exists for Global Majority students and inspired by the #10000BlackInterns initiative.

Sanderson are inviting organisations based in the South West to take part in their Strive Internship Programme in 2025.

Bristol City Council and Hargreaves Lansdown have re-launched the region’s Strive Internship scheme, which UWE Bristol are supporting.

The scheme will provide six to eight weeks of real living wage paid summer work experience with organisations across the region for Global Majority students.

Now more than ever, it is critical to support Bristol’s young people into employment.

This is a brilliant opportunity for organisations to take collective positive action towards reducing the inequalities that exist in our city and beyond.
