Maisy's SEND Employment Forum Newsletter - Supported Internships

Supported Internships in Oxfordshire are a great way for young people aged 16-25 with Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plans to get real work experience and learn job-specific skills over 6-12 months. These internships are offered through a partnership including Activate Learning, Abingdon and Witney College, and Oxfordshire Employment. 

They might include some traditional learning like English and Maths, and can be paid or lead to work qualifications, depending on the placement. The program is all about inclusion and support. 

For example, Maisy, a former intern, now works as a SEND Media Support Officer at Oxfordshire County Council. 

If you or someone you know might be interested in a Supported Internship, please read Maisy's newsletter (pdf, 800kb)for more information or you can contact the Oxfordshire Employment Team
