This Supported Internship programme has been developed in partnership with DFN Project Search and the Princess Royal Hospital or Kuehne + Nagel.
It is a one-year programme that is aimed at young people aged 18-24 with an EHCP. The programme is based in a real working environment where you will participate in workplace rotations within the employer. You will be able to select rotations that reflect your interests and ambitions, including catering, administration, retail, warehousing, portering and more. This will be supported by short classroom sessions to help you develop the skills you need for the world of work.
Working with a tutor and a job coach you will have the opportunity to learn and practice essential skills in a real working environment. Through a process of support and systematic instruction, you will learn the various skills you need to carry out your job role.
You will develop enhanced communication skills, behaviour and conduct awareness for the workplace and safe working practices as well as continue to develop the literacy and numeracy skills that you will need in the workplace.
Topics and units
You will be trained to complete a variety of tasks and will be continuously assessed in the workplace receiving feedback and support to help you meet the required standards. You will work towards personal and work-based targets to help you be successful in gaining employment after the programme. Your job coach will help you develop the skills needed to be an effective employee.
Entry requirements
You will need to be aged 18-24 and hold an Educational, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) that has been issued by your Local Authority. All candidates will be interviewed for suitability and take part in a selection day. You must also be highly motivated and have a desire to secure paid employment after the programme concludes.
