Supported Internship: Entry Level 3 Project SEARCH

Supported internships are structured study programmes based primarily with an employer. They are designed for people aged 16-24 with a statement of SEN, or an Education, Health and Care plan to achieve sustainable paid employment.

This course aims to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed in the workplace that are valued by employers.

Alongside your time at the employer, you will complete a personalised study programme which includes the chance to study for relevant substantial qualifications, if appropriate, and English and Maths.

You will receive support and guidance to move into paid employment at the end of the programme.

The programme at CONEL is supported in partnership with Tottenham Hotspur Foundation/Project Search and North Middlesex University Hospital.

The “study” element of this programme is limited to 1/2 hours per week.

The main body of the programme is spent in rotations being supported to perform job roles within the organisation. The main components of delivery are:

• Employability Skills
• Communication Skills
• Organisational Skills
• Presentation Skills
• Maths and English
• Ability to Self-Reflect and to Peer Asses
• Any other specific job/work-related skills and qualities

• A current EHCP
• A qualification at Entry Level 2

You will have reviews regularly with lead job coaches.

You will be assessed through a variety of methods based on course requirements and individual needs. For example:

• Observations
• Workbooks
• Practical Activities
• Questioning
• Peer feedback

Throughout the course, you will be gathering evidence/information in each unit based on your work with an employer and during your lessons.
