Simple, accessible, manageable

Traineeships are designed for 16 to 24 year olds, and up to age 25 for those with an education, health and care (EHC) plan who want to progress to an apprenticeship, paid employment or further study. They can also form part of the Study Progamme provision for 16 to 19 year olds leading on to further study or an apprenticeship.

The core content of a traineeships should consist of three elements:

  • Work preparation training
  • Work placement
  • English, maths, ESOL or digital skills as necessary.

A flexible element can also be added to help the learner move into work or remove a barrier to them entering work. Traineeships can last from six weeks up to one year (although most will last for less than six months).
