My YES adviser gave me brilliant assistance, helping make sense of ideas, helping to map out possibilities for college, apprenticeships and careers great communication - friendly, supportive and happy to help! The help I received from YES was amazing and I now have a job thanks to them!
Have you thought about an
Apprenticeship? An Apprenticeship is not just a job. It is about learning skills that you’ll use for the rest of your life, earning a decent wage and getting qualified at the same time.
How do I apply for an Apprenticeship?
If you’re 16 or over and live in England you can do an Apprenticeship.
http://www.gov.uk/apply-apprenticeship
If you didn’t get a grade C (or 4) in your Maths and English GCSEs, you’ll study Functional Skills as part of your apprenticeship. This means you’ll get a Level 2 qualification in Maths and English as well as your main qualification. The minimum wage for an apprentice aged 16-18 is now £3.70 per hour. This is the minimum an employer can pay by law, but a lot of employers will pay more than this. There are over 500 different apprenticeships available in subjects like IT, hairdressing, plumbing, construction trades, motor vehicle, childcare, catering and business administration.
Not quite ready for an Apprenticeship? Why not consider doing a traineeship first? Here’s why… A Traineeship is a flexible education and training programme with work experience. You can try out various types of jobs and become ‘work ready’ while improving your English and maths (if required). The programme can last up to 6 months and although you don’t get paid, it will look great on your CV and you may be given expenses for things like travel and meals. So, if you’ve been unsuccessful when applying for an apprenticeship or other job due to lack of skills and/or experience, then a traineeship could be for you. Your YES Employability Adviser can help you to find the right traineeship and arrange for you to visit providers to find out more.
See pages 5-8 for the Traineeship courses available in Brighton & Hove
