Choice's College (NHS)
Choices College is a specialist NHS college working across Lincolnshire to provide work experience and supported internships to 16-24 year-olds with an EHCP. Both within healthcare and private businesses, we offer supported work environments, providing up to a year of work experience for our students, as well as NCFE educational qualifications. Every placement is bespoke, which means that we match each student as closely as possible to their chosen field, whether within healthcare or outside.
Our work experience programme is for under 18s whilst they are at school or college. Over six weeks, students spend half a day in the setting of their choice, fully supported by college staff and workplace mentors. They are designed as a taster for a variety of careers and for undertaking longer college programmes.
Supported internships are year-long courses, which include up to four days a week on work placement and one day at college. The internship typically comprises three placements, lasting 10-12 weeks each, throughout the academic year. This gives students a long-term opportunity to try a variety of careers. All aspects of the internships include full support based on individual needs.
