    Where opportunity meets potential

    Developed in partnership with Southwark Council, SouthWRK is an initiative bridging the gap between local Southwark talent and the world of work.

    Our programme connects passionate university students and recent graduates with Southwark-based employers to jumpstart their careers.

    With SouthWRK, students and graduates gain access to valuable paid work opportunities, personalised career support, and a treasure trove of expert resources.

    This fully funded programme of support is sponsored by Southwark Council and allows us to support more undergraduates from the London Borough of Southwark to access competitive internships/placements.
