A supported internship offers 16 to 24-year-olds with an education health care plan (EHCP) the opportunity to work towards an accredited qualification(s) and take part in a work placement opportunity with the support from an expert job coach. This study programme can last between six months to a year, depending on the individual's progress and future plans.
Here in Plymouth, work is being done to grow the number of Supported Internships, and this September Discovery College is launching a programme focused on jobs in the sport and leisure industry.
Interested? Alongside time in college, the work placement aspect could involve working at a pool, a spa, gym, sports hall, on a tennis court, or even is a customer service role. Wherever the experience is gained, this internship will equip participants with the skills and experience needed for a range of jobs within the sector - and look great on a CV.
There's still time to get started THIS MONTH, so if you have any questions or would like to find out more about this programme, please email Kirsten at kirsten.p@discoverycollege.org.uk or call 01752 761011.
