Traineeships
Traineeships are pre-employment programmes
–
they are for you if you are not yet ready to ente
r
employment and training and want to improve
your employability skills or work experience.
Traineeships last from six weeks to six months
– with content tailored to your individual care
er
needs. Traineeships can offer essential work
preparation training, literacy & numeracy skills
and work experience is provided so that you can
learn real workplace skills. You will normally
gain Level 1 or Entry Level qualifications such
as awards, certificates or diplomas. You will
usually learn about a work related subject
(eg. motor vehicle, customer service etc).
within your traineeship. You will also study
Personal & Social development and improve
on your English, IT & Maths. Traineeships
prepare young people for future careers by
helping them become ‘work ready’. They were
introduced for 16-23 year olds and young
people with an EHC (Education, Health and
Care) plan up to academic age 25.
