The programme has a strong focus on employer expectations, with additional training in areas such as administration, ICT for users and First Aid.

You will usually have a clear idea of the career area you wish to progress into. As part of the programme, you will complete a minimum of 60 hours of meaningful work placement, helping you gain real-world experience and strengthen your CV.

Supported Internships are designed for you if you have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and are ready to take the next supported step towards employment.

A central part of your Supported Internship is the extended work placement. You will complete a minimum of 130 hours with an employer, gaining valuable hands-on experience in a real working environment.
