What is it?

The Professional Pathways programme is a suite of sector specific training courses and paid 35 hour internships that take place in June.

Training is delivered by industry experts, to provide you with a firm grounding in the relevant sector. Following the employer-led training, you will undertake a paid 35 hour internship. Due to COVID-19, we will be making a few changes to the 2021 programme. Please see the individual pages below for further information.

For more information on each Pathway, please see:

• Pathways to Arts, Culture and Heritage 
• Pathways to Charity and Development

Please note: Pathways to Data Analytics is a separately funded Pathway, run through the Q-Step Centre team. Dates and timings for this Pathway are therefore different, and for further details you can contact the team at qstep@exeter.ac.uk
