Description

Supported Internships (SIs) are a work-based study programme for 16-24 year olds with SEND who have an Education Health and Care plan, who want to move into employment and who need extra support to do so. SIs are designed to equip young people with the skills they need to secure and sustain employment through learning in the workplace. The DfE wants to build the capacity of the SI programme and are aiming to double the number of SIs from c.2,250 internship enrolments per annum to c.4,500 per annum by 2025. We are commissioning two contracts to deliver services to meet these aims. Lot 1 ‘Strengthening the Supported Internships Programme' Lot 2 ‘Delivery of Job Coach training’
