Traineeships

Traineeships

A traineeship is a skills development programme that includes a work placement which must be a minimum of 6 weeks. The traineeship helps prepare young people for an apprenticeship (something we can also deliver) or job if they don’t have the appropriate skills or experience. 

There is no cost to your organisation and our offer is simply this:

1. A Trainee working for you, at least 3 days a week.
2. Free recruitment service and reference checking.
3. A programme that is designed to meet the needs of your organisation and can develop talent in the ways you need.
4. Fully-funded training programme covering Employability, E&D and Functional Skills. 
5. Apprenticeship training or employment support at point of progression.
6. A £1,000 incentive payment to your organisation (per trainee, up to a maximum of 10 per region).

If you would like to set up a bespoke traineeship programme within your organisation, please email info@lmpeducation.org for more information or simply book an online meeting using this online calendar.
