One Stop has launched its 2023 scholarship programme which looks to support young adults in beginning their careers.
Candidates aged 18 to 24 and educated through a state school can apply for the scheme, with those successful awarded with a £15,000 bursary, a business mentor and a paid summer internship to support their three-year graduate course at a UK university.
The programme will be supporting courses around the online, technology, community and sustainability subject areas.

The application process which opened today (2 February) and is set to close on 30 April, involves a video interview and those who make it to the final stage will be invited to visit the One Stop head office in Walsall.
The experience day will give candidates the opportunity to take part in an interview with the convenience retailers colleages from each of the departments that correlate with the subject areas offered.
“Our scholarship programme offers successful candidates an opportunity to begin their career journey and form relevant and applicable skills across a broad set of subject areas,” One Stop talent and career partner, Alishia Hambleton said.
“We also support our scholars with regular mentoring sessions and watching people learn and grow is wonderful to be part of.”
