Supported Employment Parent Carer Guide
Supported Employment Programmes have been running for 10+ years and are one of the most successful ways to enable young people, with an identified additional need, to gain sustainable paid employment. However currently, only 5.1% of people with special educational needs and disabilities gain permanent paid employment in the UK, compared to 80% of their peers.
This guide aims to give an overview of Supported Employment programmes, how they can be beneficial to your young person, FAQs that families and employers have raised and most importantly how to support your young person to access a programme. Supported Internships and Apprenticeship opportunities are increasingly an exciting way for your young person to gain permanent paid employment.
