Traineeships
A traineeship combines a work placement with help on English, maths and employability skills. It's designed as a stepping stone: something to do if you want an apprenticeship but aren't quite ready, or haven't yet found an employer to take you on.
What you get
- A work placement plus support with English and maths
- Designed to lead directly into an apprenticeship or job
- No formal entry requirements
- Usually shorter than an apprenticeship
Who it's for
Young people who want an apprenticeship or job but need experience or confidence first.
Common questions
What's the difference between a traineeship and an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a paid job with training. A traineeship is shorter, unpaid, and exists to get you ready for one — including help with English and maths.
Will a traineeship get me an apprenticeship?
That's the whole purpose, and many employers use them to find apprentices. There's no guarantee, but it puts you in front of employers.
