Supported Internships
A Supported Internship is a type of Study Programme specifically aimed at young people aged 16 to 24 who have an EHC Plan and who need extra support to gain employment. The programme can run up to 38 weeks and consists of a work placement based at a partnering employer plus English, maths and employability qualifications personalised to each individual’s needs.

Positive Feedback on one of our Interns
A manager who is quite senior was waiting for someone in our main entrance and was actually observing Issie for about 15 minutes. The manager wanted to say what a brilliant job Issie was doing, that her customer care skills were delightful, she said she stood there and thought who is that person, we need to give her a job.
