Group 1 also enjoyed their celebration day event - McDonalds, Dinosaurs & Inside Out 2 at the cinema. These guys have made so much progress this year, and they thoroughly deserve their outcomes, well done! #mencap #supportedinternship

Group 2 enjoyed their celebration day yesterday - we visited a Dinosaur exhibit, went to crazy golf, electro darts & had McDonalds for lunch. Well done guys, you've made so much progress this year and we will miss you all! #mencap #supportedinternship

Group 1 enjoyed a sunny afternoon at The Commandery @worcestermuseum. These guys have had exams & interviews lately so it was a nice way to de-stress & one of the best things about this cohort has been witnessing the friendships formed in this group! #mencap #supportedinternship

Here are Josh and Stuart looking very smart in their uniform at their work experience. They are gaining valuable skills in communication, customer service and teamwork skills working alongside their colleagues at the Entertainer. #supportedinternship #mencap #workexperience

Di from Mencap came back to school today to talk to some more of our Sixth-form students. Mencap will be one of the providers who are coming along to our Life Beyond School Event next Wednesday in school @mencap_charity @mencap

#christmasjumperday might be one of our favourite days to get ready for work! Here are some of the Worcester Supported Internship team and learners hard at work looking very festive! Everyone made such a fab effort, Stuart even put his Christmas socks on, which he is showing off!

Group 2 enjoyed their spontaneous outing to @worcestermuseum this week! We have lots of history fans in this group so they enjoyed learning about Worcestershire's local history, and dressing up! #supportedinternship #enrichment #mencap #history

Yesterday group 2 took part in an enrichment activity, using their team work and problem solving skills to complete a scavenger hunt, solving clues around Worcester. Lots of fun was had and the sun stayed out for us🌞#supportedinternship #teamwork #mencap

Well done Stuart! Thank you very much for all your hard work. @EmployMeWorcs

Stuart loved his first day on work placement at @aztecadventure1. Stuart worked fantastically with the team to jet wash inflatables that had been in the lake for quite some time. His skills coach was impressed by his excellent teamwork and communication skills! Well done Stuart.

A huge thumbs up from one of our learners Tom who has today secured paid employment at his work experience placement, @Tesco 🤗 Tom has worked so hard!! We are so proud #paidemployment #supportedinternship

Lucas enjoyed his first day on work placement at @ASDA Worcester. During his shift, he filled the 'food to go' area and worked fantastically with colleagues and his skills coach. Thankyou to ASDA for providing valuable work experience opportunities! #supportedinternship #mencap

Our new cohort have had a busy few weeks! Most have started fab work placements, we visited a board game café, have done lots of employability & teambuilding activities and this week everyone took part in sports at Perdiswell Leisure Centre as part of #NationalInclusionWeek2023

There are no words to describe the support we have received from @waitrose Bromsgrove. Garrett and Mary were surprised with a tea party during their joint last day yesterday along with their job coach Maddy. Looks like a tough day at work to me!!!!! #waitrose #workexperience

A couple more from a magnificent day - to quote one of our learners!
