We have been running the supported internship at Amazon in Weybridge, Surrey, since September 2025. This is an exciting new partnership between Amazon, Surrey County Council, DFN Project SEARCH, and Ambitious College.
This study programme is for young people aged 18–25 who have an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan and want to move into paid employment with extra support.
Interns are based at the Amazon site five days a week, taking part in workplace rotations, learning through feedback, and building the skills and confidence needed for adulthood and employment.
Where you could work
At Amazon, interns work towards learning the Level 1 Amazon Associate role, gaining experience across two sites in Weybridge:
- Sortation Station
- Delivery Station
Through their workplace rotations, interns take part in tasks such as:
- logistics and warehouse operations
- packing and dispatch
- quality checking and problem solving.
This hands-on training helps interns build the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to progress into employment at Amazon or other workplaces in the future.
What you will learn
Interns take part in a programme of learning that combines classroom teaching with real workplace experience. Lessons are led by a teacher and supported by job coaches.
Interns develop:
- employability skills such as teamwork, communication, and time management
- english and maths, embedded in workplace tasks
- personal and social skills, including independence and confidence
- job-specific skills linked to the Amazon Associate role.
This mix of classroom learning and practical experience gives interns the tools they need to move confidently into adult life and work.
