The government has published the framework for the delivery of its new traineeships later this year. Traineeships are short courses run with employers that are intended to form a “stepping stone” to Apprenticeships and other jobs for students aged 16 to 19.
They are to be available from August 2013 and are to be delivered by education providers in conjunction with employers.
The idea is that students who are not ready to apply for an Apprenticeship can instead take the six-month course, which will include a substantial work placement of at least six weeks as well as work skills training.
Students will also receive support to improve their English and maths to GCSE A* to C level if they have not already attained this.
