Traineeships
What is a Traineeship?
A traineeship is part of an education and training programme that is focused on giving young people the skills and experience that employers are looking for. The core component of this programme is a high-quality work experience placement, which is complemented by work preparation training in college concentrating on employability, personal skills development, English and Maths (for those who need it) and a vocational subject area.
Traineeships are a pathway to an apprenticeship or paid employment, and the employer is expected to give the trainee an offer of employment (if one is available) at the end of programme, or provide a job reference and use their contacts to help the trainee gain employment.
Key elements of the Traineeship Programme are:
- Work preparation training
- Flexible vocational learning/qualification
- Work Experience/Placement
- English and Maths
- Digital skills
- One-to-one tutorial
- Exit interview
