The Mayor's Sport team works as part of the Greater London Authority to deliver the Mayor's vision for London to be the most socially integrated, active city and undisputed sporting capital of the world. Sport has the power to bring people together and improve lives, which is at the heart of the Mayor’s approach to sport in London. The Mayor of London Sport Internship Programme provides 12-month paid internship opportunities to young Londoners from groups typically underrepresented within the sports industry, as part of the Mayor's commitment to ensuring all young Londoners have access to positive opportunities. Partners hosting interns are leading organisations within the UK sports industry:

As part of the Sport Internship Programme, each organisation’s interns, mentors, line managers and HR professionals identify the essential skills that are required for them to be effective in their work.

These forward-thinking employers understand the value of a diverse workforce that reflects the city they represent, and are willing to make internal changes to ensure they're bringing in young talent and supporting them to grow and thrive.

The Skills Builder Universal Framework provides the common language and shared approach to structured development conversations and allows organisations to measure the progress of young people, and their wider teams, using online self-assessment tool Skills Builder Benchmark.

Regular training sessions and programme meetings bring organisations together to reflect on their essential skill development journeys, share best practice and develop solutions.
