‘Following the success of the University of Lincoln Graduate Internship Scheme, in which we were successfully awarded funds to support small businesses and businesses from key industrial sectors with a £1000 bursary to recruit graduates for a 3-6 month internship; I am pleased to announce the extension of this funding. This scheme is now available to businesses of any size and any sector to help support and encourage our graduates into employment whilst at the same time, supporting the local economy in such challenging climates.
