“‘I am enjoying my Supported<br />
Internship at <strong>Shipley</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
The college is local and tutors<br />
are nice which makes my<br />
lessons fun. I have made lots<br />
of friends already. I am looking<br />
forward to starting my work<br />
placement, and would like<br />
to progress but I am unsure<br />
what I would like to do at the<br />
moment.’<br />

About the course<br />
This is a great opportunity to be in a real working environment and learn<br />
a job role with support to help you to settle in. When in <strong>College</strong>, you gain a<br />
wide range of skills including personal preparation for work, independent<br />
travelling, job search skills and effective behaviour at work. You also have a<br />
placement/internship where you will work with an employer in partnership<br />
with the <strong>College</strong>. Your placement will be found to match your abilities &<br />
interests. You will be on placement as an Intern for a number of months<br />
where you learn and practice different tasks. In addition, you also work<br />
towards important Functional Skills qualifications in maths and English.<br />
“‘I am settling in well on my<br />
Supported Internship and the<br />
tutors have been truly helpful.<br />
I chose the <strong>College</strong> because<br />
they offered internships to help<br />
get in to employment. After the<br />
course, I would like to move in<br />
to employment.’<br />
Alex, <strong>20</strong>,<br />
Your future<br />
At the end of the Supported Internship Programme, you may be offered<br />
paid employment or volunteer work. If you need ongoing support, we work<br />
with a number of agencies who can provide the help you need. If you think<br />
this programme is for you or would like more information, please contact<br />
us, come to our Open Days or book an appointment to speak with our<br />
friendly tutors.<br />
