Work begins on Youth Futures Foundation feasibility study of DFN Project SEARCH
Evaluating an internship training programme hosted by employers, designed to help young people with learning disabilities and autism transition into employment
We are working with the Youth Futures Foundation (YFF) to conduct a feasibility study of DFN Project SEARCH, a supported internship training programme hosted by employers, designed to help young people with learning disabilities and autism transition into employment. The programme aims to secure and retain full time employment for participants with a host employer, or to ensure that they leave the scheme ready for work and better placed to secure employment elsewhere.
Our goal is to understand whether it is possible for YFF to support DFN with a robust impact evaluation of their intervention.
