Project Search HILLINGDON CIVIC CENTRE Virtual Open Evening

DFN Project Search is a supported internship programme for young people aged 17 to 24 years old with a learning disability or autism who are looking for a full-time job.

Our programme gives young people the chance to build a range of transferable and marketable job skills, such as team-working and problem-solving, and gain confidence in applying for a job.  During this 1-year programme, interns will:

• be based at the Civic Centre in Uxbridge
• have the opportunity to work in 3 different departments
• receive structured support from staff, mentors, instructors and coaches
• gain 800 hours of transferable skills
• study for an employability qualification

At the end of the programme, interns are encouraged to apply for roles within the council or supported to apply for jobs in the local community.  This programme is delivered in partnership with London Borough of Hillingdon, DFN Project SEARCH and Orchard Hill College.
