Summer Internships 2023

10,000 Black Interns aims to transform the horizons and prospects of young black people in the UK by offering paid internships across a wide range of industries whilst also providing training and development opportunities.

 

10,000 Black Interns Programme 2022

In Summer 2022 Lloyds Banking Group welcomed our first cohort from 10,000 Black Interns and we’re excited to be supporting this initiative again in Summer 2023, offering 75 internships across various business areas at Lloyds Banking Group.

Priscilla was one of our summer 2022 interns

She had this to say about her recent internship:

“My internship at Lloyd’s Banking Group has changed my perspective of the corporate world. I initially imagined the corporate workplace to be cutthroat and hostile, however, from my first day everyone I’ve met has been friendly and open to lend as much help as I’ve needed. My time at Lloyd’s has also helped to calm the overwhelming pressure to have a fixed career end goal.”
Priscilla has since secured a place on the Retail Customers and Products Graduate scheme which will give her the opportunity to rotate around a number of different teams, building skills and experience in a variety of roles.

“After the successful completion of my 6 week internship at Lloyds Bank, I am pleased to announce that I’ve been offered a full time role as a Retail Customers and Sustainable Products Graduate. I’d like to thank 10,000 black interns for providing the opportunity to intern which has led me to this amazing role. I am very excited to see what the future holds!”

 

 

Yaw completed an internship in Commercial Banking in Summer 2022

He has since secured a perm role as a Data Analyst at Lloyds Banking Group:

"In the summer of 2021 I was heading into my final year of university. I wanted to get relevant experience before applying for graduate roles and my sister sent me a link to the 10000 Black Interns homepage. I hadn't considered Lloyds Banking Group before and I had zero experience working in an office, so was very uncertain about what to expect.  Fortunately, I was really welcomed, making me feel like a real part of the team.

I’ve since had 2 job offers and have started a permanent role at Lloyds Banking Group. I'm incredibly grateful to LBG and 10k BI, for providing me with this opportunity. It has turned my life around, from being a third year with no internship experience, to having a permanent position in a role I had been longing for."
