SPOTLIGHT

It may be half-term next week, but most of our supported interns won't be taking a break yet. They'll continue showing up for work as they reach the end of their one-year internship.

Every year, a new group of interns join our campus with fresh hopes of getting a job. This year, we are supporting 42 interns. Over the last six years, the vast majority have secured paid employment (80% year on year). This year is not an exception!

We're proud to say that six interns are already getting paid. Many more are on track to gain employment by the end of the school year. We extend our gratitude to the many inclusive employers who choose to partner with us.

Leanne Bosquet is our Employment Engagement Provider. She continues to build links with employers to provide these important opportunities.

Job roles include: working at Chase Farm hospital, Coca-Cola, and Greggs. We also have interns in Bank of America, Google, and The Grove school. Interns gain support from our fantastic team of Job Coaches. They ensure that the interns settle in and gain valuable skills.

Do you know a young person aged 16 to 25 years who might be ready for a supported internship? We are happy to meet with them and discuss their employment goals.
