Leicester, De Montfort University, and the University of Leicester partnered on the initiative for second-year students.

Participating students worked paid internships lasting six weeks at small businesses in high-growth industries. The LGCP revealed job opportunities for young professionals and opened talent pipelines to growing enterprises.
