Cardiff University scheme giving training opportunities

Youngsters with learning disabilities such as autism are being given training for different jobs at Cardiff University.

Twelve students from Cardiff and Vale College are on internships until June.

They are spending time in offices, laboratories and catering departments.

Cardiff is the first Welsh university to get involved in the SEARCH project, launched in the USA 20 years ago to give work opportunities.

Shane Halton and Hollie Newbury are gaining experience, with the college's Tom Snelgrove praising the scheme.
