Helping you prepare for the world of work

This one year programme works closely with you to build up your confidence and work related skills before your internship.

Preparation for Employment explained

We work with you to help you prepare for the world of work through Project-Based activities, Work Experience, Employer Visits, Guest Speakers, Functional Skills and more.

We will work with you to develop your Personal and Social Skills, helping you to identify key areas you wish to grow. Through individual and group work, you will start to build your confidence, develop work-related skills, and explore different career paths you may like to focus on in your future. 

This is a Pre-Internship year and is suitable for you if you need more support to prepare for the working environment before going on to the Supported Internship year.

Process

Here is the process of the Preparation for Employment programme, from the referral to the end of the programme:

 

Is your next step a Supported Internship?

"This opportunity has made me more independent, socially and financially. I am a better person and more confident at working with other people. bemix supports me and my family as well. I think the programme is a very good idea for people like me with a disability." - Monty (a previous intern at Sun Pier House).

 

      

   

What does it mean to parents and carers?

"I'd say to any parent considering this course, then absolutely go for it. You will see your child transform and develop new skills to take them through to adulthood." - Kirsty (Alex’s mum)
