Support Future Talent

Our Supported Internship Programme helps young people with SEND gain the skills, confidence, and workplace experience needed to move into paid employment.

By partnering with Petty Pool, employers play a vital role in creating inclusive opportunities while helping young people achieve their career goals.

Supported Internship partners benefit from:

Regular reviews and communication
Guidance on inclusive working practices
Tailored support for both employers and learners

Our goal is to ensure a positive experience for everyone involved.
