You can boost your CV and give yourself the best possible chance of securing that all-important job with the help of the Nehemiah Academy.

The Academy offers:

• Work placements
• Graduate internships
• Grants of up to £1,500 towards the cost of studying

Work Placements

Nehemiah works in partnership with local organisations, such as universities, schools and community groups, to provide work experience placements throughout the year on a rolling programme – usually on a 2-weekly basis.

Throughout the recruitment process, we also provide benefits to the shortlisted candidates, such as CV reviews and teaching key skills that employers look for in potential employees.
