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.
