Give Your SEND Students a Supported Start into Employment
Help to bridge the employment gap for young people with SEND
Cornwall EBP is excited to announce the Supported Work Experience Programme 2025: an innovative pilot project to tackle the underrepresentation of young people with SEND in the workforce.
The Challenge: Currently, less than 5% of young people with SEND transition into employment compared to over 80% of their peers. A survey conducted by Mencap in 2018 revealed that at least 65 per cent of people interviewed with a learning disability said they would like to be in paid work.
