This micro internship is for 30 hours in total (including 4 hours for training) and is aimed at students who have limited professional work experience and are looking for an opportunity that supports them to develop their employability skills.
To apply for this micro internship, students must be part of GROW Your Future.
GROW Your Future is an opt-in scheme for UK undergraduates and postgraduate taught students who also meet specific Widening Participation criteria, e.g. students who are:
- first in their family to go to university;
- in receipt of a Lancaster Bursary;
- received free school meals
- over 21 when they start their first undergraduate degree;
- Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic;
- disabled (including learning disabilities, physical or mental health conditions);
- care leavers or have caring responsibilities, or estranged from family
- a refugee or asylum seeker, from a gypsy or Traveller community, or from a military family
As stated above, the GROW Your Future Micro Internship Scheme aims to support students with limited professional work experience, therefore priority will be given to students who meet this criteria. This includes students who may have already completed a GYF micro internship.
