Supported Internship Opportunities in Derbyshire for Young People with SEND Workshops

 

Derbyshire Parent Carer Voice is delighted to invite you to one of our upcoming workshops focused on supported internships for young people with an EHCP in Derbyshire.

 

These sessions are designed for parent carers of young people in Year 9 and above, particularly those who are post-16 and exploring options for supported employment after education.

 

What to Expect:

Hear directly from young people who have completed supported internships — their experiences, challenges, and successes.

Listen to parents of recent interns share how these opportunities helped their young people move closer to their employment goals.

Learn from professionals including the Preparation for Adulthood Lead Officer (ISAS), the Supported Internship Coordinator, and Programme Managers from DACES.

 

Workshop Topics Include:

• What is a supported internship? What does a typical day look like?

• Why your young person might benefit from one.

• Opportunities available in Derbyshire, including placements at:

• Chesterfield Royal Hospital, Gulliver’s Kingdom , Lea Green, Amazon

• How to find out more and apply.

• Q&A and open discussion time.
