Trent View College is really excited to be partnering with the NHS and DFN Project SEARCH to launch our first supported internship programme. The model provides a structured supported internship programme designed to equip young adults with disabilities with the skills, confidence, and experience needed for long-term employment.

Throughout the programme, they receive up to 800 hours of structured on-the-job learning, supported by teachers, job coaches, managers, and mentors. To help them develop a broad range of skills, they complete three 10-week rotations in different roles within the host business. By working with Scunthorpe Hospital young people access rotations across multiple sectors, DFN Project SEARCH provides young people with real-world experience and the opportunity to develop valuable skills.
