CWA Supported Internship

The supported internship is designed to develop work based skills predominantly in a series of practical areas, and is for students aged over nineteen who have the potential to gain paid employment.

This supported internship effectively bridges the gap from college to employment. It is a work-based program that involves students completing up to 3 different work placements within the academic year alongside classroom-based activities that will help support students to develop the skills and experience required to reach their full potential as they move into their adult life.

Assessment is ongoing and consistent throughout the academic year, this is evident via an initial screening process and then regularly via the Personal Development Plan. Learners are assessed on an individual basis by the tutor and mentor through the verification of completed portfolio of evidence. The online PDP system allows for the learner to log in and view their progress and targets so they are always aware of their achievement to date.

Students need to be aged between 19 and 25 and are expected to show a positive attitude to learning and work in order to achieve their full potential.

All students will need an Educational, Health & Care Plan to start this course.
