Ymlaen: The Senedd’s Internship for Black, Asian, and Ethnic Minority graduates

Cymraeg version

The Senedd Commission (Senedd) has partnered with the Windsor Fellowship to launch a new internship programme, offering four opportunities to individuals from a Black, Asian or Ethnic Minority background.

The Senedd is committed to attracting talent from a wide range of backgrounds and recognises the value in reflecting the diversity of the Welsh population.

​The internship programme is a great way to gain paid work experience in an exciting and unique environment at the heart of Welsh democracy.

About the Internship

​We are offering a paid, 12-month training internship for four graduates from a Black, Asian or Ethnic Minority background. You can choose to apply for placements within various areas across the organisation.

Although the internship does not offer or guarantee a substantive role at the end of the 12-month period, the aim is for you to develop the skills and gain the experience required for a role within the Senedd Commission or a job elsewhere.

Training at the Senedd means you will be at the heart of Welsh politics, developing your skills and knowledge on how to best navigate and assist a busy and exciting workplace where Welsh laws are made. The Internship is an excellent opportunity that has been designed to provide you with the understanding and ability to develop within a diverse and inclusive organisation.
