Round 2 of our Bath Spa Works: Internships is now open!
Whether you’re looking to grow your organisation or if you have a project that you need support on, by taking part in Bath Spa Works: Internships, you have an opportunity to advertise an exclusive internship and recruit a Bath Spa University student for a period of 120 hours (equivalent to three weeks).
From working with micro businesses and SMEs, to supporting the growth of charities, social enterprise, or a CIC, these internships not only support local businesses but also offer students the chance to develop their key skills, experience and employability.
Funding
This year Bath Spa University is offering part - funded internships where you will have an opportunity to select one of their students for:
120 hours - funding contribution of £1,000
You will then be required to make up the remaining amount to ensure the student is paid the national minimum wage. The student will need to be added to your payroll and paid directly.
Employability Award (limited)
This year, Bath Spa University is also able to offer a number of Employability Awards for 120 hours internships where the organisation meets the eligibility criteria. This eligibility criteria has been developed to support local small business and charities to access Bath Spa University's student talent where ordinarily, they may be unable to resource or fund this.
Although these internships are not required to be paid at national minimum wage, Bath Spa University is able to offer the successful student an Employability Award of £1,250 to go towards their work with you. This Award will be paid directly to the student by the university.
Eligibility will be captured and reviewed upon the submission of your proposal form. The outcome will be communicated to you via email by the Scheme Coordinator or an Employer Relations Advisor.
