We’re all very excited here in college to introduce you to ‘The Intern’.
The Intern is a newsletter written, edited and produced by Endeavour’s Supported Internship students.
Tutor, Jo Thompson, said “As one of the tutors for the Supported Interns we noticed that information about our course was sometimes missed due to placements, illness etc. so the decision was made to complete a newsletter to share both informative, and positive news.
As part of our tutorial sessions students are encouraged to share good news, however small, to start the day of in a positive fashion and the newsletter is an extension of that.
Students have taken ownership of the newsletter and it has proven very successful after only two issues and parents/carers are encouraged to read it too as it updates them on the course and future plans for the students”.
Mary, one of the students on the team said “The Intern is a newsletter for the Supported Internship group and their parents/carers. It contains lots of information about events and placements for the interns to read about. There is an option to read about the staff who help the interns and articles from the interns themselves, informing others what it’s like to be on the Internship. Term dates and college events are also in the newsletter, such as mental health talks and cake sales raising money for charities. It also includes an article featuring information that has been given to the group from a guest speaker, to inform those who were absent during the talk what useful information they have missed.
The purpose of The Intern is to keep the Supported Internship group connected with each other. It contains missed information for any interns who were absent from the session, and it also includes special points of interest such as jokes and movie reviews, which shows how the interns have their own individual interests.”
Jo said, “I am incredibly proud of the student’s achievements and can see this newsletter going from strength to strength and skills learnt being taken into the world of work”.
We’ve also really enjoyed reading The Intern and learning about what the group has been up to. There are some brilliant articles and lots of information as well as some light-hearted content too and we can’t wait to see the next edition.
Well done students!
