Ymlaen: The Senedd’s Internship for Black, Asian, and Ethnic Minority graduates
The internship programme is a great way to gain paid work experience in an exciting and unique environment at the heart of Welsh democracy.
About the internship
We are offering a paid, 12-month training internship for four graduates from a Black, Asian or Ethnic Minority background. You can choose to apply for placements within various areas across the organisation.
Although the internship does not offer or guarantee a substantive role at the end of the 12-month period, the aim is for the you to develop the skills and gain the experience required for a role within the Senedd Commission or elsewhere.
Training at the Senedd means you will be at the heart of Welsh politics, developing your skills and knowledge on how to best navigate and assist a busy and exciting workplace where Welsh laws are made. The Internship is an excellent opportunity that has been designed to provide you with the understanding and ability to develop within a diverse and inclusive organisation.
