Supported Employment - In-house service for learning disabled students

OWL is part of the STEnG Supported Employment Service* dedicated to supporting adults with learning disabilities from the partner groups progress into work – whether it be full time, part time, paid or voluntary.

A dedicated STEnG supported employment advisor provides the following support for students, as appropriate:

• Job clubs,
• CV preparation
• Role play for interviews
• Travel training
• Visits to potential employers and volunteering opportunities
• Job search
• Trial work experience placements

*This service was formerly known as Phoenix Employ.  It is still linked with Papworth’s Supported Employment Service  ‘Work-4-You’.
