Work-based traineeships
Our Traineeship courses are designed to prepare young people aged 16-24 for their future career.
They are a way for you to source new talent and get to know the trainee, and even train them, before potentially offering them an apprenticeship or a job. It is a great tool for you to create a pool of talent to source future employees of your company.
We work with employers across industries in the South West, offering traineeships in locations such as Weston, Bristol and Somerset, to support your business with accessing your future workforce.
There is no obligation to hire a trainee after the course has finished. However, most of the businesses we work with decide to offer successful trainees apprenticeships - where we can create bespoke training programmes to address your skills needs.

Benefits of traineeships for employers
Most businesses have the ability to offer a traineeship.
Almost any workplace could offer a traineeship and they are very flexible programmes, which means we can work with your business to design a traineeship which suits your company’s needs.
Traineeships allow you to select the best apprenticeship candidates.
Many of our former traineeship students progress onto an apprenticeship programme, which means that traineeships can be an excellent way to recruit and train young people to work within your company with the specific skills and abilities that your business requires.
They have a positive impact on the next generation of workers.
Pledging to offer a traineeship placement helps a young person to enter the workforce, and teaches them the skills they need to become your ideal employee. Not only does this improve their chances of becoming employed, but it helps you grow your business in a positive way.
You can improve your employees’ mentoring skills.
Traineeships are a great way to improve your current employees’ mentoring and management skills. Assigning a member of staff as a mentor for your trainee will help them develop their leadership skills, so you can give them experience that will help them manage staff members in the future.
It’s a cost-effective way of recruiting new talent.
Because traineeships are fully funded by the Government, you won’t have to pay for your trainee’s course. On top of this, there are no requirements for you to pay your trainee for their work, however most of the businesses we work with offer a small salary to their trainees.
