Internships

Internships are a vital way to develop your career. At Southampton City Council we’re keen to invest in people, and our annual internship programme offers local university students the opportunity for paid work over the summer period, whilst supporting experienced colleagues to deliver a specific project.

As an intern you'll be receiving practical and professional training right from the start, being able to put your university theory into practice. Working alongside experienced colleagues who will supervise your development and a dedicated mentor providing support and guidance throughout your internship.

We are pleased to confirm that we are running our internship programme again in 2023. Applications for this have now closed.
