Supported internships announced by Northumberland Skills

Applications are now open for supported internships starting in September 2024.

Delivered on behalf of the Northumberland County Council by Northumberland Skills, these internships are targeted at young people aged 16 to 24 who have an EHCP (education, health and care plan), and are ideal for those who need a bit of support moving from education into sustained, paid employment.

The programme includes a substantial work placement which, crucially, is supported by an expert job coach. Supported interns are enrolled and supported by a learning provider, for example, a school or college, but spend most of their learning time – typically around 70% – in a workplace.

You can find out more details about what’s involved in the programme, and how it differs from a traineeship or apprenticeship by downloading the flyer here.
