Leading legal organisations have rallied behind the national #10000BlackInterns initiative, a programme providing 10,000 paid internships to black graduates in the UK that will launch this summer.
To date, 22 law firms have confirmed their participation in the programme.
The campaign was founded last summer by Redington co-founder Dawid Konotey-Ahulu, Capstone Investment Advisors president Jonathan Sorrell, Barrington-Hibbert Associates founder Michael Barrington-Hibbert and Livingbridge managing partner Wol Kolade. It aims to broaden career opportunities for young black people and address the under-representation of black talent in industries, including the legal sector
The 10,000 Black Interns programme will offer paid work experience across a range of sectors, providing training and development opportunities designed to create “a sustainable cycle of mentorship and sponsorship” for the black community.
