Supported Internships in Cornwall

Supported Internships help young people aged 16-24 with an Education, Health and Care plan get into work.

If you’re a young person aged 16-24 with an Education, Health and Care plan, a Supported Internship can help you get into work.

You’ll learn the skills you need for work, while spending most of your time in a real workplace. You can also study for qualifications, like English and Maths.

How does it work?

• A Job Coach works with you and your employer throughout the Internship. They help you to work out tasks and learn new skills.  

How long will it last?

 • 6 to 12 months.      

Will I be paid?

• No. Supported Internships are classed as education. The aim is to help you into paid work when your internship is finished.

What kind of work can I do?

• There’s a range of Supported Internship available across Cornwall. Industry-lead internships, where an organisation offers several different roles; or provider-lead internships, where a learning provider works with you to find a suitable placement.
