Santander
We partner with Santander to offer funded internships to final year students and graduates within small to medium sized businesses (SMEs).
This creates an opportunity for small businesses to harness the skills of Cardiff Met students and graduates, whilst providing them with an opportunity to gain much needed experience in the workplace.
Eligibility
This programme is open to organisations with 250 employees or less with an annual turnover of fifty million pounds or less (SMEs).
They must be registered and based in the UK. Eligible organisations include companies, sole traders and partnerships. Participating organisations can recruit a maximum of 2 interns through each year of the programme.
Benefits
Participating in the Santander Internship Programme allows businesses to:
- receive funding from Santander to hire extra resources to help deliver a project
gain perspective on projects from a new, motivated member of the team
gain insights from students or recent graduates in a specialist area
Cost
Santander will contribute up to a maximum of £1260, based on full time hours (35 hours per week).
All Santander Internships are part-funded by Santander.
