Supported Internship (DFN Project in Collaboration with Cumberland Council)

More about the course

Our internship programme, delivered in collaboration with the local council, provides students with a valuable opportunity to gain real-world experience while studying. This partnership is unique because it offers learners insight into a range of council departments, giving them a broader understanding of how local services operate and support the community. Through the programme, students can experience roles across areas such as administration and community services, allowing them to develop transferable skills in a variety of professional contexts. They will build key workplace skills including communication, teamwork, organisation, and professional conduct, while gaining confidence in a real working environment. This experience helps prepare them for employment and opens up a wide range of progression opportunities within public services and beyond.
