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.
Strive connects Global Majority university students with local employers for paid internships, building networks and offering valuable work experience.
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.
