work of our teams in the UK. If you are keen to learn more about working for a
global organisation, and to make a real difference over the summer, then this
opportunity is definitely for you.

over the summer. We get to work with new talent and creativity, plus an insight
into how we can deliver the best opportunities to young people; you get to
learn new skills while on a paid internship and kick start to your
international career.
