Supported Internships form part of our Step 3 offer. A Supported Internship is a study programme aimed at young people, aged between 16 to 24 years, who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). It is a great bridge between education and employment, building confidence, skills and abilities to support young people who would like to move into employment but need extra support to do so.
