Supported Internships programme

This year-long Supported Internships programme at Brent Council aims to provide our young neurodiverse residents with the opportunity to gain vital work experience and employability skills to kickstart their careers.

The programme offers:

  • A combined programme of study and work experience over an academic year
  • Opportunity for young people with learning disabilities and/or autism to develop existing skills and learn new skills in a workplace, not a college
  • Opportunity to try different jobs and have varied work experiences

Eligibility:

The programme is open to Brent residents aged 17-24 with an active Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan, and it has been carefully designed to help young neurodiverse Brent residents gain new skills and find jobs.

The programme is based at Brent Civic Centre and includes neighbouring employers. There’s also a sister programme based at Charing Cross Hospital.
