Coleman Training Supported Internships
Coleman Training are an education provider that progress young adults aged 16 to 25 years with an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) into sustainable, independent paid employment.
Our free programmes run on an academic year, with small groups and supportive, highly experienced staff.
Pre-Internship Programme:
This is a one year programme designed to give experience of work in a gentle format. Group visits and guest speakers enable interns to discover their passions, skills & qualities.
Towards the end of the year interns go into carefully chosen work experience with a employment support coach supporting them. Life skills, employability & functional skills are taught on this programme.
Supported Internship Programme:
This programme is heavily work experience based. Each placement is chosen with the individual in mind. They can try different placements or one continual one. In this year they grow towards independent paid employment.
Sessions with a tutor follow a curriculum that works towards their placement, employment and applying for jobs. All placements start with a employment support coach to enable the intern to understand the employers needs and the employer to understand the interns needs. Reasonable adjustments are put in place to level the playing field.
