WHAT IS A TRAINEESHIP? A traineeship is a training course that offers work experience helping you get ready to start work or an apprenticeship.
Open to those aged 16 to 24, traineeships can last anywhere between six weeks and six months and can be tailored to meet your future career needs.
WHAT CAN A TRAINEESHIP DO FOR YOU?
Traineeships have been designed to help give you the knowledge, skills and experience that are expected in the workplace. You will: • Develop the essential work-based skills employers are looking for • Get help with your maths and English • Have lots more experience and skills to include on your CV • Learn more about the business and industry you want to work in • Be more ‘job ready’ • Increase your chances of getting an interview if a job becomes available • Get an exit interview and possibly even a great reference, provided you impress with your dedication and enthusiasm. asm!
Will I be paid?
Employers are not required to pay you for taking part in a traineeship but may support you with transport and meal costs. The work placement is a real opportunity to gain valuable work experience and should be seen as a route into paid employment.
TRAINEESHIPS TRAINEESHIPS INCLUDE: • A high quality work placement • Work preparation and training • Expert help to improve your English and maths skills with the chance to achieve nationally recognised qualifications
These are all skills that employers are looking for and could help give you the edge when it comes to finding a job or an apprenticeship.
IS A TRAINEESHIP RIGHT FOR ME?
If you are motivated, enthusiastic and want to start work but lack the skills and experience employers are looking for then a traineeship could be the ideal choice for you. If you have been unsuccessful when applying for jobs and apprenticeships due to a lack of skills and experience, a traineeship could give you the head start you need. A traineeship could also be the right choice for you if you are: • Motivated to work • Unemployed or work less than 16 hours per week and have little work experience • Aged 16-24 and qualified below Level 3 A traineeship is probably not right for you if you: • Already have the skills and experience needed to find an apprenticeship or work • Are 25 years or older • Are already employed
