Course Content

Work experience is the main focus of a Traineeship. It provides young people with the skills and experience that employer’s are looking for today in the world of work.

Whilst on a Traineeship Programme young people will be given advice and guidance on the correct behaviours and attitudes that should be adhered too in the workplace, to ensure they obtain the best possible experience out of their work placement.

A qualification will be worked towards whilst gaining valuable experience in the workplace. This would usually be English and Maths.

Our goal is to ensure by the end of the Traineeship that the young person has achieved their qualification with us and just as importantly progressed to a positive destination: Employment, Apprenticeship or Further Education.
