Supported Internship - Hull College

On-campus, Field-based Hull

Hull College's Supported Internship is a classroom- and work-placement-based programme designed to build the confidence, knowledge and practical skills needed to succeed in the workplace. Learning takes place in small, supportive classes and focuses on employability skills such as communication, teamwork, time management, problem-solving and following workplace routines, alongside personal development and independent living topics including managing money, travel training and health and wellbeing. Tutors and learning support assistants provide individualised support tailored to learners' communication, cognitive and social needs. Work placement is a key part of the programme: learners complete a minimum of 126 hours of placement across the academic year, supported by the college’s work placement team. Placements are matched to interests and abilities with opportunities across sectors including hospitality, retail, business, childcare, art and design, IT, sport and customer service. Throughout placements, learners receive ongoing support from a Job Coach and participate in regular reviews with employers and college staff to monitor progress. Assessment emphasises practical achievement, personal growth and employability skills with evidence gathered in a portfolio rather than formal exams. On completion, learners will have a Level 1 vocational employability qualification and be well prepared to progress into supported employment, paid work, apprenticeships or traineeships.
