National Supported Internship Day 2026

That this House celebrates National Supported Internship Day 2026 and recognises the vital role that supported internships play in enabling young people with learning disabilities and autism to access meaningful employment opportunities; notes that supported internships provide structured, high‑quality workplace learning combined with personalised support, helping interns develop confidence, skills and long‑term career prospects; acknowledges the commitment of employers, job coaches, education providers and specialist organisations who work in partnership to deliver life‑changing outcomes; welcomes the progress made in increasing the number of supported internship placements but recognises that more must be done to ensure equitable access in every community; and recognises the need to continue strengthening pathways into employment for young people with additional needs so that every intern has the chance to thrive, contribute and succeed.
