The supported internship is for you if you're 18 and over with an EHCP, and have the potential to move into paid employment. It focuses on developing practical work related skills through hands-on experience in a real workplace setting.

Course Details

The supported internship helps you bridge the gap between college and employment. It is a work-based program where you'll complete up to 3 different work placements during the academic year. Alongside this, you'll also have classroom based activities and learning that will help you build the skills, confidence and experience you need to reach your full potential as you transition into adult life.

The placements on our supported internship programme will be based at an employer in King's Lynn. This could be at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, at the College of West Anglia in a support department (such as in student services or in the food hub), The Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk or another employer. You will be allocated a placement after you start your course.

How will it be delivered and assessed?

Your progress is assessed continuously throughout the academic year. This starts with an initial screening and is reviewed regularly through your Personal Development Plan(PDP). You'll be assessed individually by your tutor and mentor, based on your completed portfolio of work. You can log in to the online PDP system at any time to view your progress and targets, so you always know how you're getting on.

Entry requirements

You need to be between over 18 and expected to show a positive attitude to learning and work in order to achieve your full potential.

An Educational, Health & Care Plan( EHCP) is needed in order to start this course.
