The College Link Group in the Further Education Department have been to Burnley to find out more about 'Project SEARCH' which is situated in the Calico building. The project SEARCH is a supported internship programme for young people with Learning Difficulties or Autism with an EHCP. They work in collaboration with DFN project SEARCH, Calico, Burnley College and Lancashire County Council. The programme provides real-life work experience alongside training and life skills.
In 2021 they had 100%success in all their adult's securing employment.
The visit was to allow our students to make informed choices about their own futures. They chatted to adults on the project and asked some great questions too.
Thank you Sarah and Maria for spending time with us and sharing your knowledge, we had a great day.
