Sefton lead the way helping young people into employment

Sefton Council is working with local colleges to support young people with special education needs and disabilities (SEND) into full time employment.

The Supported Internships programme links young people with local employers to help them gain vital experience of the workplace.

With 31% of 16-24 year-olds with a SEND in full time employment, the borough now far exceeds the 6% national average.
