We are delighted to announce that for the first time in summer 2022, we will be running an HDI Fellowship programme for recent university graduates, building on the success of our intern team projects in previous years.
The Fellowship will include all the elements of the internship from problem solving and teamworking to communication, business skills and more. It will run for four months from early to mid-August to mid-December with the potential to continue further. The Fellowship will allow graduates to develop their workplace skills by managing an entire project through its lifecycle, from conception to prototype/pilot phase and beyond.
More details to follow shortly.
