📢 Happy National Supported Internship Day 2024

National Supported Internship Day is the first national celebration of supported internships in the UK. 🙌 👏

Through these Supported Internships, young adults with a learning disability and/or autism are able to thrive in an inclusive environment, while learning skills for a lifetime. To celebrate this day, our Interns confidently hosted a Reverse Jobs Fair to show off their skills to future employers.

These experiences wouldn't be possible without our partnership with The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust. A big thank you to all of our departments working with our Interns and mentoring them, we really appreciate you all.

Have you ever heard of a VocFit? Well, this handy assessment tool is great way to measure the skill level of our interns, highlight any skill gap for intervention and help employment outcomes through its job matching reports.

We love watching our interns skills grow through the DFN Project SEARCH supported internship. Check out the video below and hear from intern Emily. She has grown so much since September 👏 We are so proud of her!
