Employability Service

DFN Project SEARCH

DFN Project SEARCH is an employability program partnership between us, NHS Borders, and Borders College. It offers real-life work experience to young people aged 16-29 with additional needs.

The Project follows the academic year and provides opportunities for individuals (referred to as Interns) to gain employability skills and qualifications:

  • Interns participate in three rotations within Borders General Hospital, Scottish Borders Council, Borders College, or local businesses. These rotations provide supervised work experience.
  • Interns receive support from an Employment Support worker and a Tutor from Borders College.
  • Interns work toward a nationally recognised employability qualification.

For more information see the DFN Project SEARCH website.
