This programme includes a paid internship with the Welsh Government and volunteering.
The Leadership Programme is a personal and professional development programme for undergraduates. The programme combines residential training seminars, a paid work placement and volunteering, which together enhance your education, employability and citizenship skills.
Support comes not only from the staff and peers but also from our alumni base of Graduate Fellows who provide advice, encouragement and a useful network for your career development. We have trained over 1,900 Fellows on our programmes since 1986 and they have gone on to become leaders in a diverse range of industries.
The Windsor Fellowship helps to develop leaders who in turn help to sustain and grow the organisation.
Graduate Fellows participate by attending seminars as Guides, marketing the WF to their employers or potential applicants or even joining the Trustee Board.

The Welsh Government offers a whole range of career opportunities for administrators, managers and policy experts in a range of fields. We also employ many specialists – including economists, lawyers and accountants.
