What Our Students Say

I think I’ve really enjoyed the fact that I’ve had to make new friendships, especially because I didn’t know anyone coming in – but after the first few weeks I think I’ve adapted to it really well.

Dan

“When I first came I didn’t know anybody at the college but because it’s people you’re surrounded by and people with similar interests to you, you do make friends quickly and you make really close friendships with people because you’re listening to the same things and you’re going through the same things, and you can help each other as well.”

Eve

“I decided to study at Leeds City College because I liked the equipment and the rooms that they had, and I liked how it was a whole new space – it had only recently been built so everything was brand spanking new and it looked really clean and really nice.”

Course Information

Introduction

Supported Internships are a structured, work-based study programme for 16-24 year olds with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), who have an education, health and care plan (EHCP).

Overview

Supported Internships are a structured, work-based study programme for 16-24
year olds with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), who have an
education, health and care plan (EHCP). The aim is to support students to gain
paid employment by equipping them with the skills they need for work, through
learning in the workplace.


Students spend two days in the workplace learning real skills, and one day in
college focusing on English, maths and employability skills.


Students are supported by our expert job coaches throughout the programme.
Each individual will follow a personalised study programme alongside their time
at the employer.


The internship runs for one academic year. The work placement is unpaid with
the goal for successful students to secure a paid job at the end of their
internship.
