Our Current Projects
As experts in both employment and disability practices, ELITE deliver and co-ordinate numerous projects that provide professional support to those who need it. Acting in both lead and partnership roles, ELITE projects cover a wide demographic of jobseekers with disabilities and/or disadvantages. If you are based in South, East or West Wales, aged between 16-65+ and are disabled or disadvantaged, we may have just the project for you!



Supported Shared Apprenticeships
The Supported Shared Apprenticeship programme aims to provide disabled people with a service that offers training, access to support, and valuable work-experience that leads to long-term sustainable employment. The programme is a partnership between ELITE, host employers, and dedicated training providers.
We work with local employers seeking to match opportunities with apprentices to create apprenticeship placements that can last for up to 18 months. During this time, a dedicated training provider supports the apprentice as they undertake a level 2 qualification (or above). Apprentices receive tailored guidance and assistance every step of the way.
Supported Internships
Our Supported Internship program offers a comprehensive one-year work preparation initiative designed for young individuals with a learning difficulty, learning disability, and/or autism. Geared towards those eager to enter the workforce, this programme serves as a vital transition from education to employment.
We provide a person-centered approach to guide the indterns on their one-year work preparation. Through a blend of college-based training, career exploration, and hands-on employer-based skills development via work experience, interns gain practical insights and hone essential skills.
Throughout the programme, interns receive individualised support from a specially trained Job Coach, ensuring a supportive environment within the workplace. The Supported Internship programme not only enhances interns' prospects of securing paid employment but also fosters confidence building and cultivates a range of life and employability skills. Moreover, the success of this programme hinges on a robust three-way partnership involving a host employer, an education provider, and a supported employment agency, ensuring comprehensive support and collaboration every step of the way.
