Supported Internships

For 16-24 year olds

Get Ready for your Next Step with a Supported Internship
(Starting September 2025)

Supported internships in the UK are designed for young people aged 16 to 24 who have learning difficulties or disabilities and need extra support to move into employment.

The Supported Internship is divided into:

  • Work experience alongside your work coach (4 days a week) and
  • Learning with a dedicated tutor (1 day a week)

Supported internships help interns develop the transferrable skills and knowledge needed for a paid job and can also improve confidence, self-esteem, wellbeing, and social life.

The programme is helping me with my confidence. Once I started to meet the team at SS&L I started to develop friendships and relationships and just grow as a person.
