What Are Supported Internships

Supported Internships are government-funded College/Employment programs specifically designed to facilitate the smooth transition of young individuals with Special Educational Needs into paid employment. Interns will have the amazing opportunity of being placed within operational businesses for an entire academic year, allowing them to acquire crucial employment skills through real-world work experiences. While working in the host business, interns will be fully supported by a dynamic team of job coaches and a tutor to assist them in developing their skills.

Generate Opportunities has been at the forefront of delivering Supported Internships since 2018, collaborating with prestigious partners across multiple sites in London. Through our programs, we have achieved remarkable success in enhancing employment outcomes for young people with disabilities.
