Project Search is a work-based programme for young people with learning disabilities, which supports their move from education to employment. Twelve students have an extended work experience placement at Glaxo Smith Kline, taught by a West Thames College teacher and supported by a full-time job coach employed by Action on Disability. This is a one year course during which you will achieve an Entry Level City & Guilds qualification in Employability Skills. You will study 3 units linked to your working practices: Getting to know the place of work and study and recognising and building on own personal strengths; Demonstrating positive attitudes and behaviours for learning and work; Looking for suitable jobs and making applications. You will be based at Glaxo Smith Kline for 5 days a week where you will study your qualification. You will take part in 3 job rotations for the year for example in Security, The Post Room, Meeting Rooms, Restaurant, Reception, Office Admin and IT. Once you’ve completed your academic year you will be supported to find paid work.
