A new report has shown that traineeships are helping young people to access jobs or further study.
Andrew says, "This new research has looked at the impact of the traineeship initiative (which launched in 2013) on progress into an apprenticeship, further learning or employment. The report has found that 75% of trainees get a job, take up an apprenticeship or go on to further study within a year of completing their programme."
Traineeships are education and training programmes for 16- 24 year olds. The aim of the programmes are to prepare young people for an apprenticeship or work by providing them with the required skills and experience. They last up to a maximum of 6 months and include:
• work preparation training provided by the training organisation
• English and maths support if required, provided by the training organisation
• a high-quality work experience placement with an employer
