Amazon is offering year-long internships at its warehouse near Hull in partnership with Project Search, a national charity focused on employment for young adults with learning disabilities. The placements, which begin in September, will cover warehousing and logistics roles at the Melton West Business Park site.
Interns aged 18 to 24 who hold an Education Health and Care Plan will receive support from a job coach and workplace mentor.
Classroom-based learning provided by Humber Learning Consortium will supplement on-site work experience. The program aims to help participants develop employability skills and transition from education into employment. East Riding of Yorkshire Council stated that the initiative will offer young people with an EHCP the chance to gain workplace experience.
An online information session is scheduled for 20 May from 13:00 to 14:00 BST and again from 18:00 to 19:00. Interested individuals can learn about the program and how to apply during the event. The program is delivered in partnership with Humber Learning Consortium, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, and Hull City Council.
Other local organizations including Humberside Police, City Health Care Partnership, Siemens Mobility, and Asda operate similar internship schemes.
