A Supported Internship is a Study Programme for students with an EHCP which is focused on giving you the skills and experience that employers are looking for to help you progress to suitable employment, Traineeships or Apprenticeships.
You will need to hold an Educational, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) that has been issued by your Local Authority. There are no formal academic entry requirements as you will work at your own level, however, a literacy level of at least Entry 1 is advisable. All candidates will be interviewed for suitability. You must be fully committed, reliable and punctual.
If you need support to decide on your future plans, have few or no formal qualifications, or need to build confidence before your next step, we can offer you a flexible, tailored study programme that caters for a range of interests.
Your study programme will include employability skills, preparation for adulthood, English and Maths, work experience and the option of other enrichment activities from the wide selection available in college. You will study English and Maths if you do not have a grade 4 or above.
You will attend a work placement for at least two days a week, with supported job coaching as appropriate, where you will have the opportunity to complete work experience with clear objectives, regular feedback, and support in moving towards further study or work.
You will produce a folder of assessed work throughout the course as well as developing your employability skills in the workplace.
If you are aged 19 or over you may have to pay some tuition fees. This can be clarified by ringing Admissions on 01743 342346.
You will also be able to gain a Level 1 or 2 Certificate, depending on your level of study. Progression routes are employment, an apprenticeship or voluntary work.
Enrichment activities include rugby, basketball, archery, netball, football, rock climbing and more. Kit and equipment are mandatory in all practical sessions. Please enquire at your interview.
The course is made up of Level 1 or 2 Employability Skills Certificate, Functional Skills or GCSE in English & Maths as appropriate.
