Summary

Supported Internships provide a structured study and employment programme for young people with an EHCP who would like to move into employment. Learners will be supported by an SGS job coach to develop employment skills and engage in a variety of work placements. Interns will engage in a work placement for between 1-3 days a week. The aim of these internships is to gain paid work.

What do I need to join?

There are no formal entry requirements for this course, although learners must have an Education Health Care Plan, be between the ages of 16 and 25 and be able to travel independently.
