Introducing Dare to Grow...
The application deadline for companies has been extended until Friday 10th October 2008 at 12 Noon. See FAQ for further details >
What we are trying to achieve
We have launched a pilot project that will test out ways that the highly talented and experienced graduate participants in Dare can work for a short period in an independent games developer in a way that enhances the innovation process in that company.
We hope that the link that our “innovation internship” makes between individuals and games developers will grow into a formal employment relationship and we also want to use this project as one of a number of measures by NESTA to stimulate innovation in the sector.
The pilot project will be the subject of review and evaluation throughout and the outcomes will be published by NESTA.
How it will work
Eligible Dare participants (ie those who have completed their studies, have no significant prior employment experience and are available for work) will put themselves forward to be considered for the project. Independent games developers will identify and describe an innovation project in their company. The Dare to Grow Project Co-ordinator will work with the potential interns and the companies to try and broker up to six projects to run from October 2008 for up to six months.
