Project SEARCH is a year-long supported internship programme for 16-24 year olds who have a SEND education, health and care plan and are in their final year of school or college.
It is a partnership between Lancashire County Council, Preston's College, the Supported Employment Agency, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), and the charity Hft.
Interns take part in three different experiences at the council to build their skills and develop a career path, working with their family, an instructor and a supported employment specialist.
Preston's College supports the learners through enrolment and throughout their year at college, with student managers and in-class support to assist them with their course and college life.
