Route to Recruit - Supported Internships - support to get into paid employment
DO YOU WANT TO LEARN THE SKILLS YOU NEED TO GET A PAID JOB?
A supported internship is a college course mainly carried out in a work placement, usually for three days a week with one day a week in college. You would have the support of a Job Coach to learn the tasks and skills involved in that job and at the end of the programme the Job Coach would support you to find paid work.
Do you want to build the skills to get employment?
Do you find learning in the classroom difficult? do you learn by doing?
Are you 16 to 24 with special educational needs and an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP)?
Then a Supported Internship could be right for you
