A Traineeship is a flexible education and training programme with work experience that unlocks the great potential of young people, ages 16 to 24! This programme prepares them for their future careers by helping them to become ‘work ready’. They have many benefits:-
1.) Traineeships allow you to get ahead of the competition by bringing enthusiastic young people with their fresh ideas into your business before they get on to the job ladder.
2.) A trainee can provide extra support to your existing teams during busy periods.
3.) All Traineeships costs are met by Government funding.
4.) Traineeships will allow you to shape the skills and experience of young people from your local community, helping your business to develop a loyal and talented workforce, whilst supporting the community.
5.) Working with trainees will give established staff members the chance to develop their skills in mentoring and coaching young people.
6.) Traineeships are designed to be as simple as possible for employers and can be tailored to suit the specific needs of individual businesses.
7.) If you decide to offer a trainee an Apprenticeship you could be eligible for an Apprenticeship Grant for Employers of £1,500.
