A scheme offering paid internship opportunities to students in the West of England from minority ethnic backgrounds has returned for its third year.
Financial services firm Hargreaves Lansdown and Bafta-award winning television production company Plimsoll Productions are among 12 organisations that have signed up to participate in the Strive Internship Programme.
The initiative is aiming to offer work experience to 25 students living or studying in Bristol, Bath, North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire this year, which would take the total number of interns to have been on the programme to 100.
