Pure Innovations Supported Internship at Trafford College
The supported internship is a structured study programme based primarily at a host employer which in this case is Trafford General Hospital. The programme is delivered in partnership with Pure Innovations, Trafford General Hospital and Trafford Council. The course enables and supports young people with complex learning difficulties to have the opportunity to gain sustainable paid employment by equipping them with the skills they need for work, through work experience placements, for example:
* Pharmacy
* Hospitality and Catering
* Domestics
* Linen room
* Administration
* Radiology
* Reception
Students experience 3 work placements, one per term and they are supported by their personal tutor, Job Coach and Senior Employment officers.
Wherever possible, learners are supported to move into paid employment at the end of the programme. Alongside their time with the employer, young people complete a personalised study programme which offers you the opportunity to study for a relevant qualification which is City & Guilds Certificate in Employability and Personal Development, at Entry 2,3 or level 1 depending on assessment. Learners complete the following core units and a variety of others:
* Planning for progression - the aim of the unit is to help you to plan for progression by understanding your programme and the facilities and support available and by being able to recognise and build on personal strengths.
* Work based experience - the aim of this unit is to help you develop your skills in, and understanding of, the workplace by preparing for, attending and reviewing work experience.
Attendance is 4 days per week
Placement is usually between 10.30 and 2.30 inclusive each day of the course. The personal tutor and job coach supports the learner and promotes confidence, independence and positive behaviour in the workplace which is essential.
