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.

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 the London Borough of Hounslow for 5 days a week where you will study your qualification.

Once you've completed your academic year you will be supported to find paid work.
