How it works
- Week 1: Academy at Spectrum: professional skills and safety.
- Weeks 2–5: placement with a host, usually four days a week.
- Week 6: the student presents a project to the host’s leaders.
- Career Pathways: 4.5 months of classes three days a week, then 1.5 months on placement.
Safety
- One Spectrum supervisor for every eight students.
- Mentors are briefed on safeguarding and never work alone with a student.
- Parents sign consent before the programme starts.
