WELCOME TO
UNLOCKED INTERNSHIPS
The award-winning UNLOCKED Internship Programme was launched in 2023 with the aim to help kickstart opportunities for underrepresented emerging talent, looking to get their break in the UK’s creative industries.
The programme is founded by integrated comms agency, John Doe Group.
WHY WE’RE DOING THIS
Marginalised ethnicities and those from low-income backgrounds are massively underrepresented in the creative industries. To help change this, the programme is created to ‘unlock’ new internships, with the clear future goal of fairer and greater representation.
HOW IT WORKS
Each of our UNLOCKED partner organisations commit to offering
A minimum 4 week internship (unless stated otherwise)
Positions beginning from July to September
Paid at real living wage
Eligibility (who this is for)
Minimum age of 18 (there is no age cap)
Marginalised ethnicity and / or low-income background
Internships are awarded not on the basis of prior experience but rather due to a candidate’s passion, motivation and drive to learn. Applicants do not need to be an official 'creative’, studying a creative or marketing subject or indeed studying at all apply - all we ask is that you have a clear interest in the creative industries and a natural curiosity to learn more.
Applications for 2025 will open in April.
For any further information or if you have any questions, contact contact@futuresunlocked.co.uk.
