Traineeships

Traineeships are designed to help young people who want to get an apprenticeship or job but don’t yet have appropriate skills or experience.

Traineeships are an ideal opportunity for young people, aged 16 to 24, who are motivated to get a job but lack the skills and experience that employers are looking for. Those who have been unsuccessful when applying for an apprenticeship or other job due to a lack of skills and experience are most likely be good candidates for a traineeship.

Traineeships are 4 days a week and last between 12 and 20 weeks.
