Lighthouse Futures Trust - specialist post-16 employability college (16 to 25 years old)
Lighthouse Futures Trust support young people, aged 16-25, with an EHCP who want to move into paid employment in the future. They have two core programmes:
- Pre-internship: a one-to-two-year placement primarily based on the college site following an interactive and engaging programme focusing on developing social and employability skills. This is for students aged 16-18 and those who are not quite ready for employment.
- Supported Internship: a 10-month placement with interns aged 18+ who work with a locally based employer for 3 days a week, supported by one of expert job coaches. They receive further support at college to develop skills in enterprise and employability. The ultimate aim is for interns to move into paid employment, where LFT has delivered outstanding results over the past four years.
All students are supported to gain Maths & English qualifications, if these have not already been achieved. They also provide opportunities to gain qualifications in occupational studies and other areas.
