Finding my future: Young people in the North West and the power of supported internships

Showcasing the talent of young people in the North West through real digital work experience.

Paul, Supported Intern at Digital Independent Specialist College (DISC), completed this video as part of his work experience. The project was a technical challenge with exporting a variety of videos with different background sounds, quality and graphics. DISC’s Supported Internship model is run like an agency, where interns participate in a variety of remote work experiences led by a Studio Manager. Like any digital agency, DISC’s Salford site runs a variety of projects and briefs set by different clients. DISC are continuing to offer digital internships in the area, if you are interested please reach out to Nicola, nicola.w@disc.ac.uk.
