Supported Internship Campaign Video

The video promotes Supported Internships, a structured, work-based study programme for 16 to 24-year-olds with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), who have an education, health and care (EHC) plan. The internships provide the opportunity for young people to achieve sustained, paid employment by equipping them with the skills they need for work, through learning in the workplace. They typically last for an academic year. Despite the growing number of Supported Internship opportunities, the research undertaken by the Connected Futures in EMCCA programme, has evidenced a lack of awareness around this pathway and a lack of accessible information for young people and their parents/carers.
