West London Supported Internship Recruitment Fair 2024

Almost 300 people attended the West London Supported Internships Recruitment Fair hosted at Hammersmith & Fulham College this week, as part of our Colleges Week celebrations. Now in its eighth fantastic year, the fair, organised by West London Alliance in partnership with West London College, welcomed aspiring interns to the morning session and afternoon sessions. Visitors heard from a series of inspirational former interns and employers, who spoke at the event – and were able to talk to them directly in more personalised conversations too. Around 16 major employers were at the event, and attendees were able to apply directly for supported internships on the day. Supported Internships are work experience programmes for young people aged 18-24 with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Typically, classes of around 10 to 15 run from September to July during which time learners try three different job rotations with their employers. Four days a week are dedicated to work experience, and one day a week is spent in class improving English, maths, IT, and employability skills. Many young people who came to the fair were with their schools and colleges or parents and carers, although young people are welcome to book their place or drop in on the day. Over 60% of young people graduating from a WLA-supported internship programme (for young people with special educational needs) entered employment (compared to the average rate of 5.6% for this cohort nationally). Around 42% of supported internships in London are based within the West London Alliance boroughs. In 2024, around 180 young people are on supported internship placements in West London.
