Traineeship – Into Work
Course Title: Traineeship


Course description: Traineeships are an ideal opportunity for young people, aged 16-18 and 19-24 with an EHCP, 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 position, due to a lack of skills and experience, are most likely to be good candidates for a traineeship.
 
A traineeship is an education and training programme which incorporates work experience, preparing young people for their future careers by helping them to become ‘work ready’.
 
Designed for people aged 16 to 18 (up to 24 with EHCP) who don’t yet have the appropriate skills or experience, traineeships provide the essential work preparation training, English, maths and work experience needed to secure an apprenticeship or employment.
 
A traineeship has three core elements:
- A high-quality work experience placement with an employer.
- Work preparation training, provided by the training organisation
- English and maths support, if required, provided by the training organisation.
 
Traineeships last anything up to a maximum of 1 year with the content tailored to the needs of the business and the individual.
 
Employers are not required to pay trainees for the work placement and traineeships are exempt from the Minimum Wage.

• develop and enhance skills required for the working environment

EHCP: Also, for all young people with an ECHP will be assigned a 1:1 Mentor who will support them closely in achieving their outcomes, with an emphasis of helping them to see and realise the next step in their lives. The young person will be able to access a one-hour face to face session each week with their Mentor, who will review the progress of the young person, set new targets and stretch and challenge the young person to grow as an individual with confidence.
 
The YP will be supported to exercise choice and control over their lives with emphasis on the four ‘preparing for adulthood’ outcomes:
  • Moving into paid employment and/or higher education
  • Independent living
  • Having friends and relationships and being part of their communities
  • Being as healthy as possible
Support during this face to face time will be tailored to the individual depending on their needs but could consist of (but not limited to):

  • * Reviewing and monitoring outcomes.

  • * Wellbeing support – Providing a safe-space to talk about mental health and wellbeing, supporting YP to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Including low-level support surrounding anxiety, low mood and self-care, and signposting to CAMHS and/or Adult Mental Health Services where appropriate.
  • * Acting as an advocate for the YP to ensure their voice is heard.
  • * Supporting Transition and next steps – communicating clear and consistent information of the pathways available at Synolos, also transition post-Synolos, supporting work experience placements, CV writing ect. ​
