The Lloyds Scholars Programme, which offers students from lower income backgrounds a unique combination of financial support and, through mentoring and internships, the opportunity to develop their employability skills, is a key component of Lloyds Banking Group’s community investment programme and goes to the heart of its business strategy. The Group is committed to investing in the long-term economic future of the UK and helping Britain prosper.
Graham Lindsay, Group Director, Responsible Business for Lloyds Banking Group, said: “We know that the opportunities that internships deliver have the ability to stay with our Scholars all of their life. This is why we view internships as one of the most critical components of our Lloyds Scholars programme. Allowing interns to gain unique insight into a company like Lloyds is incredibly valuable. They undertake real projects during their time with us, which not only builds their confidence it also provides unparalleled work experience. As importantly, it provides us with a potential source of very talented individuals, should they choose to work with us in future.”
