Talent & Innovation

Leaders Unlocked works with industry partners to open up opportunities for young people to gain vital experience in the world of work. We enable companies in a wide range of sectors to support future talent and promote diversity in their organisations.

Since 2021, we’ve been offering paid internships, enabling young adults to develop their own social change projects to address the issues that matter most to them. To date, we’ve had 25 interns and we are aiming to expand this programme in the future.

"I entered the open day with Hickman and Rose with a rough sketch of a career in law, and left with a rich picture of what a successful career in law entails. The professionals were encouraging, prepared with answers and friendly to speak to."

"There has been a real culture change at the top - this has been the biggest element. We had such a challenge as to how to engage thousands of young people in Nottingham, a massive generational gap, we spoke a different language, it was overwhelming. Leaders Unlocked has helped us to bridge that gap and now we understand each other more."
