Supported Internship

Did you know that only 6% of adults with a learning disability in paid employment*? When you see beyond the additional needs, you will find a rich source of untapped talent.

Supported Internships are a one-year programme delivered through a blend of unpaid work experience and education for those between 16-24 years of age with Special Educational Needs, Disabilities (SEND) or Autism. It is for businesses that want to diversify and support young people with further needs into paid employment (full/part-time) upon completion.
Solihull Council’s Employment and Skills Team work with their partners Mencap and Solihull College and University to offer free recruitment services for local employers and supported interns.
