South Beds Golf Club
Meet Jason, a former Skills for Life student.
During his time at college, Jason took part in a Supported Internship at South Beds Golf Club.
During the Supported Internship, Jason developed his time management and organisational skills. He worked as part of a team, helping customers with any enquiries, this helped Jason develop his communication skills. Jason describes the support of his Job Coach, Joanna, as beneficial in helping him feel confident and prepared for the job.
Jason’s line manager, Chloe Battlebury said: “Supported Internships are a great way to have an individual come in and learn the tricks of the trade and go into any department they would like to. It’s not just us supporting Jason, he helps us in the day-to-day operational aspects. He’s been helping us cover shifts, helping behind the bar. He is one of us now!”
Since completing his Supported Internship, Jason is now employed at South Beds Golf Club. Jason said “Now that I am employed at the Golf Club, it gives me the independence to be able to buy things and save for my future. I am very proud that I was given this job at the end of my Supported Internship”.
