Golin relaunches Unternship

Golin has reduced its internship offering by removing the standard annual internship and retaining the Unternship, but with four interns participating every six months. This scheme will retain the £500 bursary for each intern to spend on activities outside the office to increase their creativity, and also include the option to use the Golin B&B scheme. This scheme is designed to help candidates who do not have family or financial support by providing one month’s free rent and continuing support with housing costs. For a place on the Unternship candidates will have to show key values, creativity and characteristics needed to thrive in the industry.
Bibi Hilton, Golin’s MD, said: “We have seen great success tackling inequality through our previous internships, with 40 per cent from BAME backgrounds and 63 per cent from non-Russell Group universities, but we now want to really turbo-charge our plans to increase social mobility and ethnic diversity in order to achieve our ambition of reflecting the city we work in. Creating the most progressive grass-roots scheme in the industry is a key part of that, alongside changes we’re making to improve diversity at the mid and senior levels. By combining the creativity of our original Unternship with an exciting new recruitment process and our Golin B&B scheme, we hope to continue to attract candidates from even more diverse and unconventional backgrounds.”
