About Get Set Progress


With funding from Thomas Pocklington Trust and RNIB, the Nystagmus Network is delivering the Get Set Progress internship programme. 

Get Set Progress provides paid internship opportunities for blind and partially sighted people who are starting out on their career or returning to work following a career break.

These fixed term paid roles enable people to gain skills and experience that can be applied to future jobs.

This forms part of the national Get Set Progress internship programme set up by Thomas Pocklington Trust.
