I-CAN is designed to support care experienced young adults aged 18 to 29 into healthcare careers.
It is led by the University of Roehampton and supported by Southwest London’s Integrated Care Partnership. We work with healthcare employers, industry professionals and specialist charities to equip learners with essential skills needed to pursue a career in the health care sector.

- Employer talks to explore different routes into healthcare career paths.
- Tailored advice and guidance.
- Personal development and employability support.
- Workplace tours.
- Access to mental and wellbeing support.
- Travel costs and lunch covered.
- Financial Incentive upon completion.
Sessions usually run every Wednesday over half a day for eight-consecutive weeks.
