Rather than focusing on classroom learning alone, interns spend most of their time in real workplaces, gaining practical experience while receiving tailored support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each intern is supported by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A dedicated job coach, who helps them learn tasks, build confidence, and adapt to the workplace<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A personalised training plan focused on employability and independence<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Close collaboration between the education provider, the employer, and the intern<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal is to prepare interns for sustainable, long-term employment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hospitality offers structure, routine, and a wide range of clearly defined roles, making it an excellent environment for many young autistic people to thrive. At Chartwells Universities, we\u2019re able to offer rotational placements across multiple outlets at the University of Sussex, exposing interns to different areas of the business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These rotations allow interns to discover where their strengths lie, while developing a broad understanding of how a professional hospitality operation works.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Skills our interns are gaining<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At our programme, interns are developing industry-relevant, transferable skills across a variety of roles, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barista training<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kitchen porter roles\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warehouse and logistics\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General hospitality support\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside role-specific skills, interns also build essential employability skills such as reliability, confidence, teamwork, and independence, all crucial for success in any hospitality setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training is structured, supportive, and delivered at a pace that ensures interns are genuinely job-ready, not just work-experienced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18557 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/AaA_EastSussex-UNI-12-11-25_-97-1.jpg\" alt=\"Hospitality interns training at University of Sussex with Chartwells Universities.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/AaA_EastSussex-UNI-12-11-25_-97-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/AaA_EastSussex-UNI-12-11-25_-97-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/AaA_EastSussex-UNI-12-11-25_-97-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>What this means for local hospitality businesses<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a host business, we know how important confidence is when recruiting new team members. Supported internships offer local businesses access to trained, motivated candidates who have already worked in a professional hospitality environment with ongoing support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hiring autistic young people can bring real benefits to businesses. Many demonstrate strong attention to detail, consistency, loyalty, and pride in their work. At a time when our sector continues to face recruitment and retention challenges, supported internships can be part of a long-term solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While we would be delighted to offer roles to all of our interns, we don\u2019t have job openings for everyone, which is why partnerships with local hospitality businesses are so important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the programme hasn\u2019t finished just yet, I wanted to start opening the conversation now. Over the summer, we\u2019ll be hosting a reverse jobs fair, where interns will showcase their skills directly to potential employers; a chance to meet talented young people who are ready and eager to work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the right support and opportunities, these young people have so much to offer our industry, and we\u2019d love Brighton&#8217;s businesses to be part of that journey.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest post by Sandra Juan Delgado \u2013 Social Impact and Sustainability Manager, Chartwells Universities At Chartwells Universities, we believe hospitality should be inclusive, skilled, and reflective of the communities it serves.
