Traineeship

Traineeships are suitable for those aged 16-18 who want to gain work experience with real employers, leading to an apprenticeship or employment.

You should choose to complete a traineeship to give yourself the best opportunity to acquire employability skills and meaningful work experience, which will help you to progress in the world of work.

A traineeship will allow you to gain valuable work experience and industry knowledge alongside maths and English qualifications. In addition, essential employability skills and occupational studies will supplement your work placement, giving you the skills and experience employers are looking for.

Your traineeship will include two to three days work placement with a recognised employer, six hours of English and maths sessions (if required), and employability and occupational study sessions.

A traineeship can lead on to an apprenticeship, employment, or further education courses.

You will be allocated a designated apprenticeship coach to guide you through your apprenticeship. We have a team of staff dedicated to providing learning support if required, as well as a Welfare Team that is on hand to offer guidance, support and help when needed.
