About the course

Supported Internships offer a structured study and employment programme tailored for young people with an EHCP who are aiming to transition into employment. You will receive support from an SGS Job Coach to develop your employment skills and participate in industry placements. Interns will participate in industry placements up to 3 days a week. These placements are intended to provide hands-on experience in real work environments, giving you the opportunity to apply what you've learned in a practical setting.

What do I need to join
To join, you must have an Education Health Care Plan, be between the ages of 16 and 25 and be able to travel independently. You must also have completed a successful work placement previously, have a genuine desire to gain paid employment and have the support of your parent/carers to achieve this. These criteria ensure that you are well-prepared to benefit from the programme and have the necessary support to succeed in your transition to paid work. Interns will continue to develop their English and maths skills, recognising the important role they play in the workplace. This ongoing focus ensures that you will be well-equipped to handle various tasks and communicate effectively in your roles, enhancing your overall job performance and career prospects
What can I do next
After completing the Supported Internship course, you can consider progressing to: Volunteering: This can provide further experience, help build your CV, and potentially lead to paid opportunities. It's a great way to gain additional skills and network within your community. Employment: With the skills and experience gained from your internship, you may be ready to seek paid employment. Use the connections and references you’ve developed during your placement to explore job opportunities in your field of interest. Both options offer valuable pathways for continued growth and career development.
