Traineeship providers list

Traineeships are a course with work experience lasting between 6 weeks and up to 1 year that have traditionally been targeted at those 16-24 year olds (eligible to work in England) with a Level 1 or Level 2 qualification with the aim of getting them ready for a job or an apprenticeship. Participants are not paid but may receive expenses such as travel.
The government recently announced that those young people with a Level 3 qualification can now also participate in the scheme. For those completing 6th Form who are focused on finding an apprenticeship or job but who have little or no work experience, this initiative could offer the opportunity to build very relevant skills and experience.
Traineeships are organised locally through Training Providers; the list of providers is available here but please note this is in the process of being updated:-
