Enriching lives and promoting inclusivity: Warrington & Vale Royal College collaborates with DFN Project Search and Warrington Hospital

In England, only 4.8% of people with a learning disability secure paid employment, in stark contrast to 80% of their peers. Recognising this disparity, we have joined forces with DFN Project Search to address the issue head-on. Our goal is to showcase the invaluable contributions individuals with a learning difficulty can make to the workforce, highlighting their skills and talents.

As of September 2023, we will be working with Warrington Hospital to offer 8 amazing NHS Supported Internship opportunities. We look forward to witnessing the positive difference this collaboration will make to the lives of our students and the wider community.
