Funding opportunities
Our partnerships with funding providers enable us to provide bursaries for short-term internships and graduate roles at certain times of the year.
→ SME Ambition Internship Programme - applications now open!
The SME Ambition Internship Programme invites SMEs and charities within Sheffield and the surrounding area to host a 70 hour internship.
We're looking for internship proposals which will develop students professionally, while adding value to your organisation. We're especially interested in hearing from organisations who might not usually have the resources to host an internship.
If successful, your organisation will receive a £1000 grant to cover an intern's wages, to be paid at the National Minimum Wage or above. This is currently £12.71 per hour, but will rise in April.
These opportunities will be advertised to students from backgrounds and groups that are typically under-represented in higher education and graduate positions.
Applications are currently open, and will close on 9 March.
