Is a Traineeship right for me?

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 unsuccessfully applying for Apprenticeships or jobs, then a Traineeship might be for you.

You could be suitable for a Traineeship if you:

• Are unemployed (or work less than 16 hours per week) and have little work experience

• Are motivated to work

A Traineeship is probably not right for you if you:

• Are aged 24 plus (unless you are subject to Learning Difficulty Assessments and are aged 16 or over and under 25)

• Are already in a job
