DNEs Summer Internship Programme

The Defence Nuclear Enterprise (DNE) People & Skills team are thrilled to announce 10 undergraduates joining under the Summer Internship Programme (SIP) and 1 with the Autism Exchange Internship Programme (AEIP).

Paid placements are for a minimum of 8 weeks at AO – EO grade level and can be extended up to a maximum of 24 months at D Band (Executive Officer).  All interns can apply for a Fast Stream “Fast Pass,” which means successful interns will be accelerated to the final stage of the Fast Stream selection process.
