Service Description:Supported Internship Programme

Our Supported Internships support young people (aged 16 to 24) with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), based in Medway, Kent and the South East.

We offer 38-week Supported Internships that mirror school terms. Interns attend the workplace 4 days a week and spend 1 day a week improving their employability skills and independence skills.


They are unpaid and last for a minimum of six months. Wherever possible, they support the young person to move into paid employment at the end of the programme.

Alongside their time at the place of employment, young people complete a personalised study programme which includes the chance to study for relevant substantial qualifications, if appropriate, and English and maths.

Supported Internships are so successful because they offer realistic, challenging, and purposeful work placements with exceptional and sustained support from the Job Coach.

Internship Exploration Programme

Our Internship Exploration Programme is designed for young people who may benefit from additional support, preparation, and skill development before progressing on to a full Supported Internship. It provides a structured pathway that helps learners build the confidence, independence and employability skills needed to take their next steps towards the workplace.

The programme combines classroom-based learning, community-based activities, and practical work placements, providing a balanced approach to personal and vocational development across the week.
