York St John University is calling on creative businesses to provide internships for graduates.

The Creative Business Team within the Faculty of Arts is offering small to medium-sized creative businesses £2,000 to support a placement, £1,000 of which is paid to the intern.

The remaining £1,000 can be used by the business to support the intern, for example the purchase of equipment, expenses and training.

Creative Business and York St John University will assist with promotions and recruitment to the scheme.

Local businesses are invited to apply by Friday, July 1, outlining their proposed placement for consideration.
