Join us for our Strive 2026 Launch Event

The award-winning Strive Internship Programme is back in 2026, and we’re pleased to host our launch event at Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol for you to find out a little bit more about the programme and all it has to offer both students and employers.

What is Strive?

Strive offers students from global majority backgrounds paid summer work placements with employers across the South West. To date, Strive has facilitated 134 placements across 35 organisations, in a wide range of different industries. With over 800 applicants last year, we’re hoping to boost the programme with more employers, opening more doors and opportunities for students.

Join us on Wednesday 21st of January at Ashton Gate, 6pm-8pm

If you’d like to find out what’s involved, hear from some of our Strive interns and employers, and enjoy some drinks and canapés, then please come along to this invitation-only event.

At the event, you can:

• Connect with other organisations who have taken part in Strive this year
