Traineeships
What is a Traineeship?
Traineeships are a way for 16-24-year olds to develop first-hand experience of the workplace with a 6-month traineeship (sometimes called an internship).
We reach out to employers for you to make sure we line up work experience in your area of interest.
Getting work experience is one of the best ways of signalling to an employer that you’re ready for work.
Apprenticeships
What is an apprenticeship?
If you already have some relevant work experience, and a strong level of maths and English too, you may feel ready to go straight for an apprenticeship. Anyone between the ages of 16-65 can apply to become an apprentice. Read more about apprenticeships, how they work and what’s expected of you.
