Cupp Internship Programme

Cupp are hoping to run a second internship programme in Brighton between February and May 2011 and to launch a new programme in Hastings. We are currently looking for not for profit organisations (from the community and voluntary sector or from local government teams) to host interns for three months during this period.

Internships opportunities should include the opportunity to lead on a new or creative project or an activity which an organisation would not otherwise be able to fund.  While interns will not be paid we will ask organisations to cover travel costs and expenses and where possible to pay the £300.00 fee for the post graduate certificate in community enterprise which will be attached to the internship. (Students from Hastings will be able to apply for their fees to be paid to two educational charities within the town).

If you are interested to work together with an intern please go here for more detailed information and to fill in a project opportunity form.
