Go Wales Plus
GO Wales Plus is our fantastic new graduate employability support programme. With a focus on social inclusion and levelling up, we were delighted to have been recently nominated for an AGCAS Excellence Award, and we are excited to have been funded to continue until July 2023.
We are keen to continue to develop our working relationships with local and national businesses who are looking to recruit early talent from Cardiff Met, with the added support provided by our programme.

Santander
We partner with Santander to offer funded internships to students from any study year or discipline.
This creates an opportunity for businesses to harness the skills of Cardiff Met students whilst providing them with an opportunity to gain much needed work experience.
Participating organisations can offer set work projects for students to work on and complete within a specific period of time.

This programme is open to any organisations registered and based in the UK.
Eligible organisations include companies, start-ups, sole traders and partnerships across all sectors. Participating organisations can recruit a maximum of 3 interns through each year of the programme.
Employability Scheme Funding is available for businesses to benefit from a fully paid student to do a work project within the business. The work project can be completed virtually or in person (at the business’ discretion in line with Government COVID-19 guidelines).
