18 juniors start in 2025 class of Crowe’s Black Interns Programme
Professional services firm Crowe has welcomed 18 new interns last month as part of its support of the 10,000 Black Interns Programme.
The 18 interns are based across six of the firm’s offices – London (9), Cheltenham (1), Kent (1), Manchester (2), Oldbury (3) and Reading (2).
As part of the internship, Crowe provides a minimum of six-weeks paid employment, which includes a comprehensive programme that enables the interns to gain valuable new skills and experience a professional work environment. The interns are each supported and guided by a dedicated mentor as they navigate their internship.
The summer hires are part of Crowe’s support to the 10,000 Interns Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to transforming the landscape of opportunities and experience for Black talent in the UK. This is the fourth year that Crowe has supported the initiative.
Nigel Bostock, Chief Executive of Crowe said: “We are really pleased to support the 10,000 Interns Foundation’s initiative for a fourth year. Since 2022, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming many talented interns to the firm – several of whom have since secured permanent roles at Crowe.”
“As a firm and as individuals, we remain committed to building inclusive environments where diversity and authenticity is celebrated. As part of this, it’s important that we do what we can to address the barriers that exist for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds.”
Azeem Zafar, Partner at Crowe added: “Initiatives like the 10,000 Black Interns Programme play a critical role in addressing persistent barriers that underrepresented groups face in accessing meaningful opportunities. Our aim is to build a community where everyone – regardless of background – can thrive, feel valued, reach their full potential, and see representation at all levels. This programme plays a key part in helping us to make that vision a reality.”
With offices in London, Bristol, Cheltenham, Kent, Manchester, Midlands and Thames Valley, Crowe is one of the UK’s larger audit, tax, advisory and consulting firms. The company is a member of Crowe Global, an international network with offices in 100+ countries.
