Fantastic for the region!

Come along to our interest event next week! 📣

Supported Internships help young people with special educational needs and disabilities into the world of work.

Teams from across the council provide work placements, whilst our Learning and Skills team provide a dedicated job coach to support throughout the process as well as delivering Employment Skills sessions and English and Maths qualifications.

Cerys, 17, recently landed a job role after completing a placement with our Locality team.

Cerys said: “Doing a Supported Internship at Gateshead Council has given me so much more confidence”

"Last year I was nervous to take a bus by myself. As part of the programme I got help with travel training from the staff at Learning and Skills. Now I take the bus four times a week – I never thought I’d be able to do that!”

We’re hosting a Supported Internship information event next Wednesday, 24 June, 5pm at Gateshead Civic Centre.

It’s a great chance to learn more about the programme, and apply for a place for September 2026.

What an absolutely amazing day at The Arches in Gateshead’s Railway Quarter ☀️❤️
🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
Sunshine, creativity, music, food and community spirit filled the space from start to finish, and the best part was seeing people from every community coming together, having fun, creating memories and celebrating something truly special.

So many people told us how fantastic it was that the event was completely free and open to everyone. That’s exactly what community creativity should be about ✨

Orbis Community was proud to be part of this incredible launch event with our print workshop celebrating the cultural and creative places that make our communities vibrant, connected and inspiring.

Huge thanks to everyone who came along, got involved and supported the day. The energy around the new artwork, performances, workshops and activities was unforgettable 🥳

This project shows the power of positive community action and collaboration❤️ artists, organisations, local businesses and community groups all working together to create something meaningful for Gateshead.

Big love to everyone involved ❤️
