The 10,000 Interns Foundation is dedicated to championing underrepresented talent across UK industries, with a focus on creating equitable opportunities for Black students and graduates. Originally founded in 2020 as the 100 Black Interns initiative by Jonathan Sorrell, Michael Barrington-Hibbert, Dawid Konotey-Ahulu, and Wol Kolade, our mission is to address the underrepresentation of Black talent in the workplace and help individuals succeed in their careers.
Through our paid internship programme, we aim to increase access to meaningful opportunities, while also driving change in recruitment practices to ensure they are more inclusive and equitable. We support Black talent by providing training, mentoring, and a powerful network of industry leaders, alongside using data-driven insights to create impactful interventions informed by the lived experience of Black professionals.
In just four years, we have partnered with over 700 leading UK organisations, delivering 7,000 paid internship opportunities and empowering 65,000 students and graduates. Our vision is a workplace that truly reflects the diversity of talent in society, with a future where Black talent is no longer underrepresented but is at the forefront of British business.
The 10,000 Interns Foundation is more than just a programme—its a movement that is unlocking the potential of diverse talent to transform industries and drive lasting change.
