Who are they for?

Traineeships prepare 16-18 year olds for their future career. They are an ideal opportunity for young people who are motivated to get a job but who lack the skills and experience that employers are looking for.

What do they provide?

A Traineeship puts learners in a better position to compete for an Apprenticeship or other job. It will give them an opportunity to improve their maths and English, create their CV and get vital experience with employers. At the end of the work experience placement, learners will receive a reference and an exit interview, or a job interview, if a role becomes available.

How to get involved

We can assist you in designing a high quality training opportunity that suits both the needs of your business and the trainee. You can bring enthusiastic young people with their fresh ideas into your business before they progress on to the job ladder. Working with learners will give established staff members the opportunity to develop their mentoring and coaching skills. If you offer a Traineeship learner a progression into an apprenticeship you could be eligible for a grant of up to £1000.
