New developments in Traineeships

New guidance has been published this week by the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills to expand Traineeships and make them more accessible to young people.  The changes will introduce greater flexibility to help learning providers and employers develop quality programmes.

Launched in August 2013, Traineeships are an education and training programme offered to young people, including those who are unemployed. Trainees benefit from work experience, support with Maths and English and work preparation training to improve their chances of gaining an Apprenticeship or other job.

Skills and Enterprise Minister Matthew Hancock believes that the guidance "will enable the programme to be expanded and allow more young people to benefit from traineeships, whilst maintaining a strong focus on quality."  To read the full article, click here.
