Learners are treated as young adults. They have more independence and are encouraged to manage their own time, make choices and take responsibility for their learning.

No. Supported Internships are an education programme, so learners do not receive a salary while they are completing their internship. The focus of this year is to build skills, confidence and independence in a real workplace.

The organisation hosting the placement is responsible for providing any PPE required for the role. This ensures learners have the correct equipment and meet workplace health and safety standards.
