Edinburgh Project SEARCH is a unique partnership between Edinburgh College, The City of Edinburgh Council, NHS Lothian and Virgin Hotels.

You will take part in three internships where you will learn new skills and improve your confidence while gaining over 600 hours of work practice. You will be supported by a supported employment specialist (The City of Edinburgh Council).
In addition, a learning and engagement officer will be there to support you and will work closely with the business to provide relevant learning and internships to help you get ready for employment.
