Become a change 100 employer


What is Change 100?

Change 100 is more than an internship programme — it’s a catalyst for change.

We connect ambitious disabled university students and graduates with progressive employers through paid internships, mentoring, and development opportunities. These placements are designed not only to elevate emerging talent but also to empower organisations to become more inclusive, accessible, and innovative.

Whether you're a start-up, SME, or FTSE 100 company, Change 100 opens the door to a high-potential talent pool that’s often overlooked — but ready to make a measurable impact.

The results speak for themselves

Over the past decade, Change 100 has partnered with over 300 leading UK employers placing more than 1,300 interns with household names including Barclays, BMW, UNICEF, Tate, Wall To Wall, and the BBC.

Proven impact:

✅ 95% of employers said their intern made a positive contribution to their organisation.

✅ 93% saw improved staff engagement and awareness around disability inclusion.

✅ Over 10 years, the disability employment gap has narrowed — but there’s more work to do.
