SS&L is inviting employers across Somerset to help young people take their first steps into the workplace by offering Supported Internship placements and work experience opportunities.
The company currently delivers a number of supported internship programmes across Somerset and Bath & North East Somerset, supporting young people aged 16-24 with an education, health and care plan (EHCP) to gain real workplace experience.
Interns spend most of their week in a work placement, developing practical skills, confidence and independence while working towards their next step into employment.
This year SS&L is expanding the programme further with a new supported internship launching in Exmoor, delivered in partnership with Young Somerset and Somerset Council’s Imagine the Possibilities initiative.
Local employers play a vital role by offering structured placements where young people can develop skills and experience in a supportive environment. SS&L and partner job coaches, including Young Somerset, Discovery and The Shaw Trust, work closely with both the employer and the intern throughout the placement.
Alongside supported internships, their Future Ready programme offers shorter work experience placements for young people exploring their career options and building employability skills.
Employers interested in offering placements and helping develop Somerset’s future workforce are encouraged to get in touch with SS&L to find out more.
