Student heading to Whitehall for internship
A UNIVERSITY of York postgraduate student is heading to Whitehall this summer for a three-month internship in the Cabinet Office.
Will Vittery, a third-year PhD student with York’s Department of Politics, will join the Cabinet Office’s social investment finance team.
He will be working to make it easier and quicker to set up a Social Impact Bond (SIB) – a payment by results scheme to allow social investors to provide up-front investment to the third sector.
Will, 26, from Grassington, North Yorkshire, said: “Through the internship, I hope to enhance my own practical research experience and skills, and to boost my future employability in the social research field.”
