The Click Start program is being run in a variety of different permutations by various partner organisations (current list of courses). Anyone who is eligible and enrolled on a course also seems to be eligible to apply for internships through the 'Get My First Digital Job' website https://www.getmyfirstdigitaljob.co.uk which is a partnership between Click Start and the BCS (British Computer Society).
This scheme appears to have been running since June 2023 but it was utterly new to me and I discovered it only because the BCS tweeted about it this morning (pointing people to info about the scheme for employers) and I follow them :)
