There are 2 new supported internships available in Greater Manchester – at Amazon near the airport and at HMRC (His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs), just over the border in Salford, but easily accessible from Manchester city centre.
The employment support is through DfN Project Search and the learning provider is Trafford and Stockport College Group. Young people will do their education provision in the base room at the employer premises.
