The Sussex Internship Programme continues to go from strength to strength as the scheme gathers momentum. The scheme, run in partnership with the University of Sussex, was originally funded by HEFCE and SEEDA to offer 112 30-day grant-supported internships within the content, creative and media sectors. Following on from the success of the scheme we applied for, and were granted, further funding to offer additional internships to 75 media companies bringing the total to 187 internships over 14 months.
Wired Sussex in very proud of the response and support the scheme has received from throughout the industry. It has been a great stepping stone for recent graduates to make that first move into an industry sector that continues to gain national attention. To date the Sussex Internship programme has helped over 55% of the interns involved gain an offer of employment from the companies they interned with.
This increase in funding has necessitated the need for Wired Sussex to take on additional team members to assist in delivering these additional internships. We are very pleased to welcome onboard Jess Jebari as our Project Manager; Emma Sarling as our Marketing Campaign Manager and Angela Rabone as our Corporate Liaison Co-ordinator.
