Hillingdon Supported Interns graduate in style

Congratulations to our Hillingdon Supported Interns who celebrated a fantastic year of achievements and personal growth at a special graduation ceremony held in the Civic Centre.

The interns who have been based at both Hillingdon Council and Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Trust came together with family, friends and mentors and staff who had supported them on their journey to recognise the incredible progress made throughout the year.

Interns were presented with a graduation certificate before receiving a special Supported Intern Yearbook 2026, giving them a lasting memento of their journey, achievements and friendships during their time on the programme.

Throughout the year, learners have developed valuable employability skills, confidence and independence while gaining real workplace experience . Their graduation marks an important milestone as many now move into paid employment or the next stage of their journey.

Mel Shepherd, Director of Work Based Learning, said: “Many congratulations to all the Supported Interns on completing their courses this year. You have gained skills, increased confidence and made friends along the way. We know you will take all these experiences on as you enter the workplace.”
