• Beacon College students begin their Supported Internship placements

  Wed 24 Sep 2025 Joe Hibbert

  Last week Sodexo at Hereford Hospital welcomed three Beacon College interns to join their team taking part in their Supported Internship as part of DFN Project Search!

   

  DFN Project Search is a national charity that enables young adults who have a learning disability or autism spectrum condition to secure meaningful permanent employment with support from our Job Coach Sam Rodgerson. 

   

  The Accordia Academies Trust team have been working closely with Sodexo and Project Search colleagues to ensure a successful launch of this exciting programme. 

   

  During their first week the interns completed their induction, met their buddies, had a hospital tour and completed other onboarding activities.

   

  Each term the interns will rotate through the Sodexo teams within retail, patient dining and domestics services, working full time at Hereford Hospital across the entire academic year. 

   

  It is great to work with partner organisations who are able to support such a worthwhile initiative and we wish our interns every success in their roles! 

   

  If you're interested in Supported Internships please contact the college to discuss this programme.

  This is due to an issue with the water resulting in us being unable to use toilet facilities or access any water. Our Contractors are hoping to fix the issue on Monday.

  The majority of the Beacon College year 12 and 13 students have been taking part in the National Citizenship Service Programme. This has involved three days of workshops at college including Enterprise Academy, Loudspeaker and The Courtyard Theatre. The students are also taking part in a social action project where they are sending Christmas boxes to the Samaritan Appeal. Well done everyone and thank you to the NCS for the fantastic opportunity!
