Landmarks is a thriving, Independent Specialist College for people with learning difficulties and disabilities. Here are just a few of our success stories.
After her success on our Developing Independence Pathway, Lucy progressed to our Employability Pathway, where she undertook a Supported Internship at Greene King.
After dedicating much of her time to learning how to serve various drinks, she can identify the correct glasses for customer orders and pull “the perfect pint“, as quoted by a customer.
In December 2021, Lucy gained Paid Employment.
When Oliver started at Landmarks, he was quiet, reserved, and nervous in new situations.
Oliver started his Supported Internship at The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust with the Child Health Department. Landmarks supported him for 2 weeks to settle into this role, within this time he picked up his new tasks well and really impressed the new team.
He secured a part-time role as a clerical officer within the Outpatient and Support Services department.
