What are traineeships?

Traineeships are short structured training programmes of usually 6-24 months duration that combine practical and technical training to give your people a formal qualification and range from entry level to advanced.They are a great way to upskill your teams in areas that are important for future-proofing your business.

Why should I consider a traineeship?

The continued rate of technological advances across many industries has revealed the immediate need for a skilled workforce that can keep pace. According to a recent Employers and Manufacturers Association (EMA) survey, 72% of businesses said that the main skill that businesses and job applicants were lacking was basic digital skills, and 71% said that highly skilled jobs were the hardest to fill. Traineeships provides you with immediate access to skills development that address these gaps without taking your team away from the tools. Employees without formal qualifications can benefit from the structure of a traineeship to gain the qualifications they need.
