What is a traineeship?
A traineeship is essentially a pre-apprenticeship course for young people aged 16 to 24 who may not have the appropriate or sufficient skills or experience yet to undertake higher levels of training or apprenticeships.
Traineeships are training programmes that are designed to teach you employability skills and to give you hands-on experience through work experience in your chosen sector, helping you to become ‘work ready’.
A traineeship has three core elements:
A high-quality work experience placement with an employer, learning under a supervisor.
Work preparation and regulated employability training, provided by the training organisation.
English and maths support, if required, provided by the training organisation.
Key Notes
Traineeships provide the essential work preparation training, English, maths and work experience needed to secure an apprenticeship or employment.
Our traineeships normally last from 8 to 12 weeks with the content tailored to the needs of the business and the individual.
Employers are not required to pay you for doing a traineeship, but may support you with expenses such as transport and meals.
