- Full Support: You’ll receive dedicated mentorship from someone with lived experience, professional training, and access to assistive technology.
- Diverse Roles: Placements span multiple sectors, from tech and communications to policy, charity projects, and HR.
Our Sight Loss Adviser Kim came to us through the program last year and had this to say about her experience: “I have gained so much from this internship. The amazing people I have met and valuable skills I’ve learned have given me more confidence in myself and my ability to take on new challenges. I have made new friends and I am excited about the rewarding new career ahead of me.”
Whether you’re looking for your very first job or rebuilding your confidence after sight loss, Get Set Progress is your launchpad to a meaningful career.
New roles are being added throughout the summer! Find out more and apply today: www.pocklington.org.uk/employment/internships/
