Law firm Osborne Clarke has hired six interns in Bristol as part of a UK-wide campaign for companies to offer paid work experience to black graduates over five years.
The 10,000 Black Interns programme, which launched in 2020, seeks to offer 2,000 internships each year for five consecutive years. So far, the campaign has partnered with firms from 24 sectors. Corporate giants such as investment bank Credit Suisse, accountancy firm PwC and Zurich Insurance were among the first to sign up.
Osborne Clarke will host six interns in Bristol for six weeks as part of the programme - two in its corporate team, three in the IT and solutions teams, and one in HR. The firm has also recruited interns in its London and Reading offices (11 in total).
