WHAT ARE TRAINEESHIPS?
A traineeship is a fantastic way for you as an employer to develop a strong pipeline of new talent whilst supporting young people on the road to employment.
Along with the in-house employability training we provide; each learner requires a two-to-four-week job placement opportunity.
We would love to partner with you on this project and if you can support a young person with a work placement, we can provide all the support required.
Traineeships are education and training programmes focused on giving 16 -24-year-olds the skills and experience needed to succeed in your sector.
