“The Learning Support Centre have worked with us since 2017, arranging for staff to provide Job Coach support for students with SEND on our Supported Internship programme. The office staff are always helpful and organised, dealing with any issues promptly. The Job Coaches have been an asset to the Internship programme and helped our students progress throughout their work placements, leading to many of them progressing into paid employment.” Amanda Hearne, Loughborough College
