What is a Traineeship?

A traineeship is an education and training programme, for those aged 16 to 24 and not in any education, training, or employment. Traineeships incorporate work experience, preparing young people with the work-ready skills needed to gain an apprenticeship or employment.

“I joined the Construction Traineeship straight out of school after receiving my GCSE’s. I’ve gained knowledge of joinery and the skills to do it, joinery was something I knew I wanted to do.

I’m enjoying doing something new as I’ve never done joinery, bricklaying, or roofing before.”
