Traineeships

What are Traineeships?

A Traineeship is a training programme designed to prepare you for your future career. They not only give you an opportunity to sample what it's like to work in a certain industry or sector, whilst gaining a qualification; Traineeships also help you learn the essential skills that Employers want and need from their workforce, helping improve your chances of getting an Apprenticeship or other job with them.

Not only will a Traineeship help you build your CV, but they offer you:

• Work experience with a guaranteed interview at the end of your placement.
• Work preparation training, giving you the skills and confidence needed to take the first step in your career.
• Maths and English support, so you can develop these skills further, if required.

If you want to work, but feel a little unsure of your skills and would benefit from some hands on experience, a Traineeship could be just right for you. All you need is to be keen to work, unemployed or working less than 16 hours a week, aged 16 to 24 with no qualifications at level 3 (qualifications from college or sixth form), and a positive attitude.

You won't get paid doing a Traineeship, although your Employer will sometimes cover the cost of things like food and travel (expenses), however your Employer will be covering the cost of the Traineeship programme and associated qualifications.
