Practical supervisors
Several practical supervisors are attached to the Academy. Yours is your first point of contact, reachable via Slack.
Support
Guidance and support
You are never on your own during your internship. This is who is there for you and how to reach them.
Who helps you
Project clients
Every project has a client. You can approach them directly; they also plan the project meetings.
Trainee Office
Our internship office handles administrative requests: password resets, approving hours, appointments, interim and final assessment forms, and teacher visits. Email trainee-office@divd.academy — a chatbot picks up requests 24/7.
Confidential advisers
DIVD has appointed confidential advisers for concerns about unwanted behaviour or integrity. You can always reach out to them — contact details are in the handbook.
Alumni network
Many former students stay involved. Through the alumni Slack channel you can ask questions and tap into their experience and network.
Appointments
Progress meetings, phase meetings with your school, teacher visits and callbacks can all be booked via our booking page.
A safe community
The DIVD family works continuously on being a safe and healthy community where everyone feels at home. Exclusion, bullying, harassment, discrimination and aggression damage people and the working climate, and integrity breaches undermine the ethical basis of an organisation. That is why raising concerns is explicitly welcome and always handled confidentially.
