Project search is a programme aimed at 17-24-year olds with a learning disability and an EHCP, ensuring that they get the same opportunities as everyone else.
Interns are supported by a tutor, job coaches and industry mentors through three different training placements over the course of a standard college year. They will gain an employability qualification and receive training in a work sector of their choosing, to become employable.
Up to 24 students each year have an extended work experience placement at GSK House (Brentford) or Hounslow Civic Centre, taught by West Thames College teachers and supported by full-time job coaches.
If you are interested in Project Search, please visit the West Thames College Supported Learning page, where you can apply ,as well as find out about other supported internships and programmes available.
