A Supported Internship is a work-based study programme for young people aged 16-24 who:
- Have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP)
- Have a learning difficulty and/or disability
- Want to move into paid employment
Supported Internships help you learn new skills in real jobs with support from:
- A college tutor (for one day a week or less)
- A job coach (who helps you and your employer at work)
You do most of your learning in the workplace, not the classroom.
The internship usually runs from September to June.
