Deciding on the Future

You want your child to get the best possible start in their career. There are many options available to young people after they leave school, and here we outline information and benefits about apprenticeships and traineeships as a key route into a successful career.

TRAINEESHIP BENEFITS 

Traineeships bridge the gap between finishing formal education and moving into employment or an apprenticeship. Traineeships are the perfect choice for young people aged      16-24 who:

• Are struggling to progress into work due to lack of skills, experience and qualifications.

• Need skills development and qualifications within an environment more suited to them.

Key benefits include:

• Acquiring skills that employers value such as teamwork and time management
• Giving CVs a boost with a work experience placement to make your child stand out from the crowd
• Building confidence, self-esteem and independence

A traineeship is a great stepping stone to employment for your child.

We will provide:

• Training to prepare them for work including CV writing and what to expect in the workplace
• Support to improve your English and maths if you need it
• Provide skills relevant to their chosen career

From the employer your child will get:

• A high-quality work placement of at least 100 hours
• An interview for an apprenticeship or job if available, or an exit interview with written feedback

Progression

We support our trainees to progress into an apprenticeship or employment. Plus, during their apprenticeship they will be provided with help and guidance writing their CV, interview skills and apprenticeship and job applications.

Your Benefit Payments

Completing a traineeship will not affect any benefits you or your child might be claiming.
