For those wondering what happens next, now that applications are closed, here’s what you can expect over the next few months as we prepare to welcome five talented young people into the workplace.

• March 2025: Candidates will be shortlisted and those selected will be invited to interview. Please note applicants will be asked to create a short video ahead of their in-person meeting with the partners.
• April 2025: Interviews will take place in the first week of April. Candidates must be available in the first week of April for this. The five successful applicants will be contacted and announced by the end of the month.
• June-July 2025: Eight weeks of industry placements will start. Interns will spend four weeks with one company followed by four weeks with another. All candidates will be notified on the status of their applications to secure a place on this year's scheme.
