Every summer the British Council take on between 10 and 12 interns for a 12-week period, starting in June.
As an intern you’ll have a fantastic opportunity to step into the world of cultural relations with an organisation that values diversity and innovation. You’ll join one of the teams in one of their UK offices, and work with a dedicated line manager on live projects to really add value to the British Council and its international work.
You will also take part in a group project, where you will be able to apply your project management and team working skills as well as receiving career advice and training that provide you with real direction and perspective to take away with you on completion of the programme!
