Regional Internship Work Network
As the Autumn 2 term has gotten underway both Dan and Dylan attended the Regional Internship Work Network for the North East. This gave us the opportunity to network with many other local authorities, providers and employers across the North East who are also supporting young people to access a Supported Internship programme.
We heard from a range of guest speakers around their experience of supporting young people across the North East to access a work placement, along with some young people themselves and how the Supported Internship programmes have supported them into gaining paid employment! Along with plenty of table talks where we were able to discuss common themes and arising issues specifically in the region.
