Traineeship

A Traineeship is a training programme designed to prepare you for your future career, helping you to get ready for the world of work and improve your chances of getting an Apprenticeship or other job. The Qube Traineeship Team (QTT) can help you every step of the way. Traineeships are an ideal opportunity for young people who are motivated to get a job but may lack the skills and experience that employers are looking for. If you have been unsuccessful when applying for Apprenticeships or jobs, then a Traineeship might be for you.

Your programme will last 6 - 8 weeks and involve a work placement with a local employer.

Although work placements are unpaid, employers are encouraged to support expenses such as transport. Depending on your circumstances you may be able to access financial support through the 16-19 Bursary Fund. All training costs are funded by the government.

A Traineeship will put you in a better position to compete for an Apprenticeship or gain employment

Traineeships give you the opportunity to build your CV and get vital experience with local and national employers

Improving your English and maths skills will boost your chances of getting a job, as well as improving your long-term prospects and earning potential over your lifetime

Employers are at the centre of Traineeships to ensure they give you the skills you need to secure a job and succeed in employment

At the end of the work experience placement you will get a guaranteed job interview with the company. Above all you will have gained valuable experience and skills needed within the working environment giving you increased confidence in your ability.

You are suitable for a Traineeship if you meet the following criteria:

You are unemployed (or work less than 16 hours per week) and have little work experience

You are motivated to work

You are qualified below level 4 (Level 2 = GCSE's at grades 9 - 4)

You will receive support to help you progress into employment or apprenticeships.
