Supported Internships
Did you know there are Supported Internships available in Wirral?
A Supported Internship offers young people aged 16-24 with an Education, Health and Care Plan the opportunity to gain practical work-based learning experience, providing a smooth transition from education to paid employment and further study. Students on the internships spend 3 days a week in employment and 1 day a week at college developing employability skills such as CV building, job applications, interview skills and English and Maths
Supported internships can be a good way of having a study programme that helps you to get a job. What makes supported Internships different is that you do most of your learning at work. This means you can ‘learn on the job’. You may spend a little time at college each week, but most of your time will be spent on a work placement. Supported internships run from Monday to Friday during term time. A supported internship could be the right choice for you if you know you learn best by ‘doing’. The most important thing is that you really want to get paid work. Supported internships are all about working towards a paid job.
