Calling Bristol creative businesses! There’s still time to join the second round of the Bristol Creative Industries Internship Programme.

In partnership with Babbasa as part of the OurCity2030 Pathway into Creative & Tech, the scheme is a stellar example of how BCI members can come together to fund and deliver a complex programme of internships and training to support some of the region’s most underrepresented young people.

After a successful pilot in 2023 with 14 brilliant agencies, we are now looking for more creative businesses to join our mission. They will support the second cohort of interns during the next phase of this innovative project.

How it works 👇

Participating businesses pay a one-off fee which covers:

✅ Onboarding to the programme including guidance and templates around internship structure/workplan.

✅ ED&I, mental health and neurodiversity training with a focus on working with young people from underrepresented groups.

✅ HR support and mentoring from BCI’s dedicated internship programme manager Clare Leczycki.

✅ Recruitment and employment of two interns over six months.

How to find out more 👇

✅ Join an online information event with Clare Leczycki and some 2023 participants on 1 February at 11am. Register here.

The deadline for signing up to the 2024 programme is 19 February.
