Step-Up is an internship and training programme for SMEs in the C2C Local Enterprise Partnership region, where you can access talented graduates to help sustain and grow your business through fully-funded graduate internships. 85 businesses have already benefitted and secured their intern, and we now have spaces for a small number of SMEs.

Our offer to you …

  • Access to bright self-motivated 2021 graduates
  • Access to join free online SME masterclasses, which can be attended by any staff member. 
  • Following the masterclass series, you can recruit a fully-funded graduate intern for six weeks this Autumn 2021
