A series of webinars and open events are taking place this autumn for young people, aged 16 to 24 who have an EHCP, to find out about Supported Internship opportunities.
Internships give young people the chance to learn in a real job, with support from a job coach and tutor.
Councillor Victoria Aitken, cabinet member for children, families and education said: “Supported internships are a great way for young people with an Education, Health and Care Plan to learn skills for work.
“I’d encourage families to find out more about how internships can help equip young people with the skills and knowledge they need to make a positive transition to adulthood.”
Events this autumn
Webinar – Tuesday 25 November, 6–7pm
This free online event is for young people with an EHCP, their parents and carers.
You’ll learn what supported internships are, what’s available locally, and how they help young people move into paid work.
You’ll hear real stories, get answers to common questions, and ask your own in a live Q&A.
