Summary
- Internships offered to 18-24 year olds with EHCP.
- Year-long programme starts in September with job coach support.

A significant new internship program has been launched near Hull, created by the national charity Project Search in collaboration with Amazon. This initiative is specifically designed to offer placements to young adults aged 18 to 24 who hold an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
The program, set to commence in September, will provide valuable experience in warehousing and logistics at an Amazon facility. Interns will participate in various departments throughout the year-long placement, receiving dedicated support from a job coach and a workplace mentor.
Classroom-based learning will be integrated into the program, delivered by Humber Learning Consortium, focusing on developing crucial employability skills. This comprehensive approach aims to facilitate a smooth transition from education into sustained employment for participants.
An online information event is scheduled for May 20th, offering prospective interns an overview of the program and detailing the application process. This collaborative effort also involves East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Hull City Council.
