Partner with Leeds Trinity University: Access Fresh Talent Through Funded Internships
At Leeds Trinity University, we’re committed to helping every student succeed, both academically and in their future careers. We are pleased to be able to offer organisations the opportunity to host a fully or part‑funded 60‑hour internship from May 2026 onwards, thanks to secured funding.
We are inviting organisations within the YABA network to register their interest in hosting a Leeds Trinity intern and supporting the next generation of talent.
Our university is career-led and providing an opportunity for our students and graduates to apply their knowledge, attributes and skills in the workplace is vital to support their progression into successful careers. We are particularly keen to support those who may not have equal opportunity to progress to an outcome they consider to be a positive reflection of their higher education experience.
We are, therefore, looking to partner with employers who share our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, and who are enthusiastic about contributing to this impactful initiative. By taking part, you will be helping to create valuable pathways into professional employment, while benefiting from the skills, perspectives and talent our students bring.
