The day’s goal is to highlight the benefits of supported internships and challenge misconceptions about employment for individuals who are neurodiverse or have a learning disability.
Supported Internships are designed for young people 16-24 with an Education, Health, and Care plan (EHCP) who are looking for a route into paid work.
The programme includes a structured, work-based programme with a substantial work placement, facilitated by the support of a job coach.
