Supported Internships
A supported internship is a structured, work-based study programme designed for young individuals aged 16 to 24 who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and wish to transition into employment but need additional support. These internships provide substantial work placements, typically lasting around 600 hours or between 6 months to a year, where young people can develop the skills needed for work while receiving support from a job coach
