OVERVIEW
KC Supported Internship is a one-year supported internship programme. It is a transition to work initiative for students aged 18-24 with a learning disability. It is targeted at students whose goal is competitive employment
within the local community. Kirklees College has partnered with local employers to facilitate this course.
The aim of a Supported Internship is to support you in your first steps towards gaining meaningful employment. You will spend one day a week learning an employability curriculum, developing vital employability skills, such as communication, team work, self-advocacy and technology skills. As well as CV writing and interview preparation. You will also spend three days a week on work placement.
Throughout the year, you will have three work placements to help you build the skills required to gain and maintain employment in your chosen sector. Placements are matched to your career aspirations, skills and personal development goals. Your tutor and Job Coach will work alongside you to support you in your development towards meaningful employment.
Upon successful completion of the course you can continue to receive support through REAL Employment. Past students have gone to work in NHS, Nando’s and other various roles in the community.
