Why is this only open to people in these postcodes?
The Enterprise Zone is funded by income borrowed against future business rate income from the Royal Docks. Therefore those who live in the Enterprise Zone and the immediate surrounding area need to be the primary beneficiaries of this opportunity.
Which sectors could I work in?
The Royal Docks is home to a number of organisations that span a range of industries meaning you could be working within sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food production, creative, industrial development or transportation etc. We will be sharing more information on the organisations participating in the programme at a later stage.
Is the internship full-time?
Yes, the internships will be full-time (36 hours a week minimum).
How much will I get paid?
Interns will be paid the London Living Wage
What qualifications will I need?
To make sure that these opportunities are accessible to young people from a range of backgrounds, we are not asking for any minimum qualifications. However, interns will be expected to have basic numeracy and literacy skills and there will be a basic assessment during the screening process to confirm this.
