Internships are unpaid and last for the full academic year and wherever possible the intern graduates into paid employment at the end of programme. Students are supported by Job Coaches in the workplace.

Alongside the work placement, the interns follow a personalised study programme, which comprises of Work Skills and continued study of English and Maths as mandatory.

We encourage students to show their commitment to working by having good attendance.
