Work Experience
Employment rates for young people with a disability are considerably lower than for those who are not disabled.
A successful work experience or volunteering placement can be a significant stepping stone on the path toward paid employment. Learn to Live currently work with both Killerton House and InkyFingers CIC who are able to offer some of our young people valuable and regular work experience opportunities.
In addition, in October 2024, we opened the doors to our very own gift store, The Happy Place, features arts and crafts for sale, created by local artists as well as the enterprise products created by our very own clients. the store also gives our young people regular, meaningful work experience opportunities, within a busy retail environment.
