Wherever possible, the young person will move into paid employment at the end of their programme.

Our Supported internship and Work Placement programmes are for young people with learning difficulties aged 16 to 24 with an Education, Health and Care Plan who want to move into employment and need extra support to do so. The two strands are structured study programmes based primarily around employability. They are designed to enable young people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities to achieve sustainable, paid employment by equipping them with the skills they need for work through learning both in college and in the workplace. The Work placement programme prepares for young people for a Supported Internship with both being part of their journey toward achieving long-term career goals that fit with their working capabilities. Job coaches are critical to the success of Work Placement and Supported Internships programmes. They provide in-work support for young people which tapers off as the individual becomes familiar with their role but can always be increased if issues arise. Job coaches provide support to employers, increasing their confidence of working with these young people and helping them to understand the business case for employing a diverse workforce.
