Our Supported Interns in their own words

Introducing three of our Supported Interns: Reggie, Victoria and Vincenzo who are all on this year’s course  hosted by Achieving for Children (AfC) Kingston.

Reggie is doing his work placement at the AfC’s SEN Transport Hub in New Malden and Victoria is working in the Royal Borough of Kingston’s Transformation team in the Guildhall. Vincenzo is working at Anstee Bridge, an alternative creative programme for young people who are struggling with their social, emotional and mental health. The students are supported by Job Coaches and are also working towards gaining additional qualifications under the supervision of a College lecturer

You can watch Reggie, Vincenzo and Victoria talking about the Supported Internship programme on the videos below.

 

Outcomes for learners are outstanding, teaching, learning and assessment are excellent and the extremely diverse programmes that meet learners’ individual needs, interests and aspirations, prepare them very well for life after College.
