Why choose the Optimum Skills Traineeship?
At Optimum Skills we want to give young people in our local communities the chance to develop and demonstrate their capabilities in the workplace, through this traineeship programme, we will prepare them with the skills and knowledge needed. For many young people college and sixth form may not have suited them, and without the qualifications and experience it may be difficult to for them to find an apprenticeship.
Guest Speakers and Site Visits
Something which makes the Optimum Skills Traineeship programme unique is the opportunity to learn and be inspired by guest speakers and site visits. These opportunities give the learners insight from industry specialists and a potential view of the future they could make for themselves. We also have speakers from local groups and charities to talk about mental health, money management, managing stress, and other life skills.
