What it is
The Supported Internship Programme is a personalised study programme for young people aged 16 – 24 who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The programme usually lasts for a year, and it offers interns the opportunity to gain valuable practical experience in the workplace, whilst engaging in further complementary study at college alongside their work.
They will generally spend a larger proportion of their time in the workplace, and will also study English and mathematics to the appropriate levels alongside any additional courses. The intern will receive the support of a 1:1 Job Coach, if required, to help them to develop their skills and confidence in the workplace. The goal at the end of the programme is for the intern to enter paid employment.
Who it is for
To be eligible for the Supported Internship Programme, prospective interns must:
  • Be aged 16 – 24 years old
AND
  • Have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP)

What it can provide
The Supported Internship Programme provides interns with the opportunity to develop their work skills and professional identity within a field of work in which they have expressed an interest. It also:
  • Provides valuable work and life experience
  • Helps students to develop their understanding of work and employment
  • Assists interns in developing their CV
  • Enables the intern to develop their skills and confidence
  • Raises the aspirations of the intern, their families and employers
