Throughout the year each intern will complete three job rotations for ten weeks working alongside colleagues and managers supported by a job coach. All of the time spent on the course will prepare interns for future work. Pure will support the interns into paid jobs with the host employer or look to identify and apply for other jobs developing an employment pathway for each person.
