Traineeships

Designed to help young people aged 16 to 24 who don’t yet have the appropriate skills or experience, traineeships provide the essential work preparation training, English, maths and work experience needed to secure an apprenticeship or employment.

A traineeship is an education and training programme with work experience that unlocks the great potential of young people and prepares them for their future careers by helping them to become ‘work ready’.

Those who have been unsuccessful when applying for an apprenticeship or other job due to a lack of skills and experience are most likely be good candidates for a traineeship.

• Course with work experience that gets you ready for work or an apprenticeship.
• It can last up to 6 months.

You can apply if you’re:

• eligible to work in England
• unemployed and have little or no work experience
• aged 16 to 24 and qualified below Level 3

Candidates get:

• a work experience placement
• help with English and maths (if you need it)
• won’t be paid, but you may be given expenses for things like travel and meals.
