Traineeship Courses

Traineeships are a government-funded courses that will include a work placement for young people aged between 16-24. 

The courses are short and they can be bespoke to the individual needs of a business. Wise Origin college will conduct a needs analysis for your business to ensure that both the employer and trainee are a perfect match.

The benefits of a traineeship 

A traineeship can have many benefits to an employer. At Wise Origin College we believe some of the key benefits are:
  • Costs are met by the government and not the employer. Wise Origin College will also provide a training allowance to the trainee to support them to complete the traineeship programme
  • Wise Origin College will design a bespoke and flexible programme to meet the needs of the employer and the trainee
  • A fantastic way of recruiting new staff to your business and seeing how they perform before offering them a job or progressing them onto an apprenticeship to develop the trainee’s skills further
  • A trainee can support your business at busy times
  • Wise Origin College will support employers to best support their trainee’s and provide advice, guidance and new skills to use in the future
  • An employer recruiting a trainee is contributing to reducing employment in their local area and supporting their local community

The employer commitment

All employers are required to commit to providing a high-quality work experience placement for the benefit of the trainee. This means that the work placement needs to be:
  • A minimum of 70 hours
  • The placement must be meaningful and provide substantial work experience
  • You as the employer will need to provide constructive feedback and advice to support the trainee’s development.

Wise Origin College encourages all work placements to put in place a point of contact for each trainee to act as a workplace mentor. This enable the learner to feel supported and contribute to positive development. Employers are not required to offer every trainee a job however, employers must:

  • Interview each trainee for a role within your business if one is available.
  • Interview each trainee for an apprenticeship role within your business if one is available
  • Provide each trainee with an exit interview and provide the trainee with honest, constructive and meaningful feedback to support their future development
  • A reference if required for the trainee’s career opportunities
