The Supported Internship Programme is a partnership between St Helens College and St Helens Council, which provides students, aged 16-25 with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) the opportunity to gain valuable work experience, which could lead to future employment or voluntary work.
Each student will attend a weekly work placement, gaining valuable skills and experience, as well as attending college one day a week, developing their employability and independence skills with their Job Coach and Employability Tutor.
“I loved attending College. It provided routine and I enjoyed making friends. Although the campus is big, I felt safe and my tutors were approachable, kind and always there to help. My work placement was with the College’s Apprenticeship Team and I have since secured an apprenticeship with them.”
