A supported internship is a workplace based educational programme for young people with an EHCP. It lasts for up to a year and consists of one or more work placements with one or more employers. Interns gain valuable experience in the workplace and can be supported by a job coach to help them learn the job role. Employability and job search skills are also provided. The primary aim of a supported internship is to provide young people with EHCPs the experience and skills they need to help them gain employment.
You can learn more about Supported Internships on the GOV.uk website.
