The Supported Internships trial is part of the biggest reform of special education needs policy in 30 years. The Special Educational Needs Green Paper Next Steps details how the Government supports young people who lose support when they leave school.
At 16, young disabled people are twice as likely not to be in any form of education, employment or training (NEET) as their non-disabled peers The Supported Internship Programme aims to fill this void, acting as a gateway between education and work.
According to the Labour Force Survey, disabled people remain far less likely to be in employment than non-disabled people. In 2012, 46.3 per cent of working-age disabled people are in employment compared to 76.4 per cent of working-age non-disabled people. And less than 14 per cent of people with a severe or specific learning difficulty were in employment.
However the success rate of the trial at Shipley College has bucked the national average.
Job coach Rachel Hoyland said: “We are open to exploring any work opportunities in all sectors, with large or small organisations.
Phillip continues to volunteer one day a week and is currently undertaking an award in practical horticulture skills.

A free networking event for existing and potential employers will take place on September 20 at Victoria Hall, Saltaire, from 12.30pm-2.30 pm.
Nineteen-year-old Luke McKenzie has a job at the Midland Hotel, Bradford.
His main role is in the office creating and maintaining an additional data base.
General manager Gary Peacock said: “We effectively carved out a role based on his skills and the work that needed doing.
Steven Hydes has also settled into his role as a general assistant in housekeeping. His duties include helping with cleaning, collection of linen, replenishing different stocks and minor maintenance jobs.
Peter Denham, operating manager of Knightsbridge Furniture Production, Bradford, said: “The students had clearly made a significant effort to introduce themselves and greeted us with much enthusiasm.
“The college’s support to us and the students was outstanding.
You can expect Grand Theft Auto V’s Online mode to go down for a short amount of time during some scheduled maintenance for June. This planned down time comes right before gamers expected to see a GTA Online Heists update, although a longer wait is expected for the new GTA V DLC thanks to maintenance work continuing until June 11.
The message left within Rockstar Games support pages can be seen below, which explains the maintenance work started yesterday and would be one reason a few of our readers had problems connecting to GTA Online. If you noticed any outage, then it shouldn’t have been for a long period of time and could result in connection issues when playing multiplayer with friends.
Rockstar also state another maintenance slot is planned today that will take place from 11PM to 5AM Monday, June 9. This can result in GTA V Online down time, although it’s stressed that the servers will only be temporarily unavailable during “some of this period”.
There’s a number of messages you might experience during the maintenance including “Rockstar Cloud Services are unavailable”, or login errors when connecting to certain services like saving to the Rockstar Cloud.
Have you had any connections problems with GTA V online during the time slots allocated? If you do see the service go down, feel free to leave a comment and understand the issues should only be temporarily.
We should point out there is two more slots after the maintenance planned for later today. You can see these in the above image, although both don’t have completion times thanks to these waiting to be confirmed. This GTA V online maintenance will no doubt help set the stage for the Heists DLC to launch before the end of spring.
They Need To Put Some Chevys On GTA V!
I am Very Upset, I had a nicee Jester that I upgraded and Now its Not In My Garage ? Plud My Biftaa ! This is not fair I understand the technical issues but why take away my cars ??..
The Westmont Special Events Corporation (WSEC) office is home to the Muddy Waters display, located at 1 S. Cass Ave. Waters lived in Westmont from 1973 until he passed in 1983. This past year, the exhibit added an Eddy Clearwater display as well. Clearwater was also a former Westmont resident.
The WSEC recently loaned more than 20 artifacts to the DuPage County Historical Museum for their special exhibit title ‘DuPage Music Makers’. The new music exhibit explores the lives of popular musicians who lived in DuPage County and the impact they had on their respective genres both locally and beyond. The exhibit also looks at how the experience of listening to music has changed from the 19th century to the present day.
Some famous and influential musicians included in the exhibit are Jim Peterik, of the bands Survivor and The Ides of March, who lives in Burr Ridge; The Plain White T’s, who were formed in Lombard; opera singer Sherill Milnes, who grew up in Downers Grove; folk artist Murial Anderson, who also grew up in Downers Grove; and Ronnie Platt of the band Kansas, who lives in Lombard.
Several artifacts associated with the Blues musicians Muddy Waters and Eddy Clearwater will be on display through a special loan with the Westmont Special Events Corporation, the Westmont Historical Society, and the musicians’ families and estates. The artifacts include performance costumes, albums, photos, and other memorabilia. However, the Muddy Waters Grammy Award remains on display in the WSEC exhibit at Westmont Centre.
The “DuPage Music Makers” exhibit also features loaned artifacts related to Ann Stewart and the Banjo Buddies Dixieland Jazz Band of Carol Stream. The Banjo Buddies have been playing Dixieland jazz music in the Chicagoland area since the 1970s. In the early days the band was particularly popular at political functions and played for three U.S. Presidents including Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush. Today, they continue to play for every event imaginable from local and international festivals to concert halls, theme parks, grand openings, sport stadiums, cruises and countless private events including funerals.
“DuPage Music Makers” is on display now through July 29, 2019. For more information, visit dupagemuseum.org.
St Helena’s first Aerodrome Certificate is valid until 9 November 2016, at which point the Airport will need to be re-certified.
Airport Certification is a significant achievement for any airport and even more so for a brand new airport. But it is an ongoing process. St Helena’s first Aerodrome Certificate is valid until 9 November 2016, at which point the Airport will need to be re-certified.
Airport Certification from ASSI and operational readiness are parallel processes - so wind shear and turbulence mitigation is a separate issue which does not affect the certification of St Helena Airport.
The commencement of flights is an operational readiness issue. Work is continuing in parallel on operational readiness at St Helena Airport, including the work that is now underway to manage issues of turbulence and wind shear experienced by the Comair Implementation Flight.
ASSI is aware that these operational issues are still to be addressed and will be discussing them with the Airport operator and other stakeholders over the coming weeks. Commercial operations will not commence at St Helena Airport until we have concluded this work.
Every effort is being made to start Airport operations at the earliest opportunity. However, safety is paramount and we will not commence commercial operations until we are satisfied with every aspect of Airport operations.
Both the St Helena Government and the UK Government hope that this will lead to eventual financial self-sustainability for St Helena.

It is not exactly the Galapagos. What is there to see? A serious question and why ?
This art installation, Sensible Data by Martin Hertig, is a test: a test of how much you might be willing to give away about yourself in exchange for a little fun.
On the surface it seems harmless enough. You can exchange a photograph of yourself for a line drawing portrait; an email for an assessment of your mood, age, gender and beauty; press a button to get a stamp of approval. It all gets assembled into a fun-looking identity card. It’s cute.
They’re silly little gimmicks, of course — but they’re also not dissimilar to techniques used all the time online to gather things such as your likeness and email address (and, unnervingly in the art installation, your fingerprint, too). Indeed, when the fun at the table is over, you receive an email containing the fingerprint, photo and email of someone else who’s already inadvertently handed their personal data over to the installation.
“This project allowed me to explore the issues of ‘confidence’ surrounding data collection systems: fun in exchange for personal data,” explains Hertig. And it’s also a nice reminder to us all to be careful with our personal data — because you never quite know where it might end up.
This month has been chock full of bad news — with midwestern floods, Southern heat waves, tornadoes and extreme weather all over the world.
Locally, we have suffered from freak tornadoes, thunderstorms and even hail. Top that off with the spike in fuel and food prices and the economic downturn, and the news is downright grim.
"The Age of Consequences is upon us," prophesied Al Gore in his movie "An Inconvenient Truth."
Climate scientists have confirmed that extreme weather would soon become the norm, with long periods of drought punctuated by rainstorms and flooding for our region.
We have been living in the "Age of Consequences" for more than 20 years now, and have suffered 67 weather-related disasters during the 1980-2007 period, in which overall damages and costs reached or exceeded $1 billion at the time of the event, according to the National Climactic Data Center.
History may record these days as the defining moment for our country, when our government hid the truth from us and refused to act in the face of a life-threatening crisis.
Kevin Winters, NASA's assistant inspector general, just published a whistle-blowing investigation, stating that NASA headquarters' public affairs specialists "managed the topic of climate change in a manner that reduced, marginalized or mischaracterized climate change science made available to the general public" from fall 2004 through early 2006.
Our government has budgeted $647.5 billion for the defense budget in 2008, more than the defense budgets of the rest of the world's nations combined — compared to $7.37 billion for climate-change programs. Only $212 million is devoted to helping poor countries obtain renewable energy technology to reduce global warming — less than one day's expenditure for U.S. military forces in Iraq.
In spite of that, Americans are "going green" and changing energy inefficient habits.
According to Cliff Feigenbaum, publisher of the Greenmoney Journal, on Wall Street one dollar out of every 10 invested now passes through some sort of "social screen," meaning investors seek more conscientious companies.
Also, 25 percent of the adult population is starting to integrate environmental and social values into purchasing and investing decisions. Seventy-six percent of consumers would switch to an environmentally responsible product or service if given the option, another recent study says.
Another study finds that the economy may be the force that greens the old red, white and blue. As fossil fuel energy costs rise, the playing field is leveled for renewable energy, making solar panels, geothermal systems and wind turbines more profitable investments. The market is driving fuel efficiency up faster than Congress, as waiting lists form for hybrids and SUVs languish on showroom floors.
James Hansen, a NASA climate scientist, calls for oil company executives to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading disinformation about global warming in the same way that tobacco companies hid the links between smoking and cancer.
