Uniformed Protective Service learners, recently visited LOPC as part of their 'Skills for Outdoor Activities ' unit.

The day was packed with excitement as the students took on climbing 🧗‍♂️ and raft building 🛶—and they absolutely smashed it! 💥

We recently celebrated Supported Internship Day!

The day highlighted the incredible work of the interns, showcasing the positive impact supported internships have on young people with learning disabilities.

Our interns had stalls set up at their places of work, to help spread awareness of the impact that the supported internship scheme has on their lives and the companies they work for.

A huge thank you to all the interns, employers, and mentors who make these opportunities possible! 🌟

We had some very special visitors at our Hinckley Campus recently 🦮🐕‍🦺

From action shots to close-ups of those irresistible puppy-dog eyes, our students showcased their skills while learning about the vital role these dogs play in people’s lives. 💛

A huge thank you to Hinckley Guide Dogs fundraising and puppy raisers for bringing these wonderful dogs to campus! Guide Dogs UK 🐶🐾

Meet Mollie!

"After I completed the HND in Fine Art, I decided to top up to a full degree on the BA (Hons) Creative Practice course. The course has introduced me to a multitude of new mediums, techniques, artists, and exhibitions that I haven’t had the opportunity to access before, which has really helped me, and my art, grow into something I am extremely proud of."

Considering studying a creative Higher Education course, just like Mollie?

Today is National Supported Internship Day!

The aim of today is to raise awareness of the huge impact that a supported internship can have, not only on the life of the interns who take part, but on wider society too.
Here at NWSLC, we are very proud of our Supported Internship programme and would like to spend today celebrating our interns and employers involved in our programme!

Our programme which has doubled in size in the last year, has 27 interns on placement across a range of employers including:

George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust
Asda Nuneaton
Tesco Wigston
Nuneaton Signs
Mira Technology Institute
NWSLC

In the coming year we will have over 60 placements with our current and new employers and are excited about the opportunities that will be available to interns across our region.
If you want to be part of the next phase of our supported internship journey, please contact Paula Jeffries. paula.jeffriesnwslc.ac.uk
