Graduate Boost offers a unique opportunity for employers in Northern Ireland to support unemployed or underemployed graduates with disabilities. Research shows that graduates with disabilities face significant challenges in securing graduate-level employment, and this initiative aims to bridge that gap. 🚀

We are seeking employers to be part of the Graduate Boost Programme by offering a 15 week internship at your company starting in January 2025.

Benefits for your business:

✨ Part-funded by the Department for the Economy NI. Interns receive a £364 weekly bursary managed by Ulster University. Employers contribute £2,000.
✨ Implement your company's equality, diversity and inclusion values, and build a diverse workforce.
✨ Inclusive recruitment support. Staff will assist you with inclusive hiring practices and can provide talent retention advice.
✨ Comprehensive support throughout the programme. Staff are on hand to offer mentoring and dedicated guidance for both employers and interns.
✨ Transform the lives and futures of talented graduates who face additional barriers to employment due to a disability.
