What are Supported Internships?

Supported Internships are work-based learning placements for people with learning disabilities who have a need for support to access employment. 

“With the right support everyone who wants to work can work!”

The supported employment model works on the premise of place and train.  

Repetition - Individuals are given placements and are given time and support to learn the job and, in many cases, becoming an invaluable resource to a workplace. 

Placements can be paid or unpaid and should last over six months and normally would be at least 20 hours per week.
