Traineeships - we’ve got it covered

Our unique offer can help your learners make the leap from education to the workplace through building the transferable skills and core attributes that businesses across all sectors are looking for.

What are Traineeships?

Traineeships are short periods of training and work experience designed for learners who aren’t ready to take an Apprenticeship or start work. The flexibility of Traineeships offers employers the opportunity to help build a pool of high-quality future recruits for their sector and they’re an ideal opportunity for young people, aged 16-24, who are motivated to get a job but lack the skills and experience that employers are looking for.

Traineeships are made up of the following elements:

Core elements:

  • English or English for speaker of other languages (ESOL)
  • maths
  • work placements (minimum of 100 hours)
  • work preparation and training

Optional elements:

  • Flexible element

The flexible element can be used to increase the study programme hours and draw down more funding. It can also be used to theme the Traineeship and prepare learners for a particular workplace
