Overview
The Supported Insight Scheme® supports Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) and Alternative Provision schools to enable their learners to be prepared for an internship or an employment pathway. A ten-week programme (one set day per week) that includes six days of experiential learning hosted by an employer, alongside wraparound careers and employability support.
“A fantastic insight for our pupils. They were able to meet other members of staff and apprentices just starting out in their careers . The sessions were hands-on with pupils either building, seeing or listening to various tasks set by the team. Thanks to DEBP this really has been the best insight that our budding engineers could have had into the industry.” – Teacher
