Thank you to our colleague Steve Baylis for forwarding details of this programme:

Could your social enterprise benefit from a fully funded extra pair of hands?

The University of Birmingham is looking for social enterprises to take part in the Enterprising Internships programme. The University of Birmingham is working with Santander to offer social enterprises in the West Midlands the chance to benefit from the support of a talented student in the summer of 2017.

If you have a short term project or piece of research that you would like to complete but struggle to find the time or capacity for, then an Enterprising Internship could be the answer.

The student will be paid directly by the University via Santander and projects will last one month (20 days). Projects can take place from June 2017.

Prior to starting their internship, all students will be invited to attend training aimed at helping them understand how to be enterprising, how to make the best impact on your business and developing their enterprising skills.

You must have a base (non-residential) which the student can work from.

For more information, to register your interest or to discuss potential projects, please send mail to Amrit Sandhu.

Expressions of Interest must be submitted by Sunday 6th November 2016.

 

 I trust this is useful and as ever please feel free to circulate as you feel appropriate.

Kindest regards

Edwin
