If you’re a young person aged 16-24 with an Education, Health and Care plan, a Supported Internship can help you get into work.
You’ll learn the skills you need for work, while spending most of your time in a real workplace.
You can also study for qualifications, like English and Maths.
How does it work? • A Job Coach works with you and your employer throughout the Internship. They help you to work out tasks and learn new skills.
How long will it last? • 6 to 12 months.
Will I be paid? • No. Supported Internships are classed as education. The aim is to help you into paid work when your internship is finished. What kind of work can I do? • There’s a range of Supported Internship available across Cornwall. Industry-lead internships, where an organisation offers several different roles; or provider-lead internships, where a learning provider works with you to find a suitable placement.
