  1. Workshop with supported interns to discuss further education for young people with SEND Notes from 24th May 2019

  2. Background • A workshop was held with 8 supported interns from RBKC and WCC. • The aim was to understand their experiences since leaving school and on their current supported internship. • We asked them to answer 5 questions: • How has their internship experience been so far? • After finishing school, what courses have you done between then and this internship? • Was there anything you wanted to do but it wasn’t available near your home? • What are the most important things to you about your college experience? • What are your aims and goals for future?

  3. How has the internship experience been for you? • We asked the interns to rate their experience on the programme. • Some of the reasons behind their rating included: • “I have been doing very well from my internship recently.” • “It’s good but stressful at work.” • “I have enjoyed my 3 placements.” • “I got offered a job this internship has been really nice.” • “I like my experience working in the office. It helps me with my confidence.” • “I think my work experiences have been good and supportive but I’ve also had my ups and downs whilst I’ve been on this programme.” • “I enjoyed talking to other colleagues at break time and I am enjoying my placement.”

  4. Which courses have you done between school and your supported internship? • The interns had done a range of courses since leaving school. • These included: • A pathway to sport course at West London College • Level 1 and 2 Maths and English courses at West London College • Level 1 in BTEC ICT, Level 2 in Travel and Tourism, Level 2 in Art at St Charles College • Level 1 in Employability Skills at West London College • Art and Design certificate at South Thames College • A Mini Enterprise course in cooking and serving customers and Maths and English courses at City of Westminster College

  5. When you finished school was there a course you wanted to do but it wasn’t available near your home?

  6. What are the most important things to you about your college experience? • We asked the interns to give us as many ideas as they could think of. • Then we grouped the ideas into the key themes (in order of importance to the young people): 1= Support from coaches and teachers 1= Getting a job afterwards 3= Enjoying the experience 3= Making new friends 5= Gaining skills 5= More sensitive with the rules, structure and responsibilities 7. Class size

  7. What are your aims and goals for the future? • The ideas the interns had for their future were around getting a job and becoming independent. • These included: getting a job, gaining work skills, working in an office, getting a job as a receptionist moving out and living on my own, travelling abroad alone, taking further art courses.
