Supported Internships at Greenlight
Our Supported Internship programme helps young people aged 16–24 develop the skills, confidence & experience they need to move towards employment. With practical workplace experience, tailored support & a focus on individual goals, we help learners take their next step into the world of work.
Our Plymouth centre can support young people with an Education, Health & Care Plan (EHCP), providing tailored support throughout their Supported Internship. Please note that we are currently unable to support learners with an EHCP at our Bristol centre.
Supported Internship Overview
Our Supported Internship programme helps young people aged 16–24 with SEND & an EHCP (in Plymouth) develop the skills, confidence & experience needed to move towards employment. The programme combines time at Greenlight with real workplace experience, supported by our Job Coaches & SEN team.
Learners will develop their employability, communication & practical workplace skills, while gaining experience through placements with local employers. We have a particular focus on construction placements, but can also support placements across a variety of industries & workplace settings to suit each learner’s interests, strengths & career goals.
