Trust Traineeship programme launches this Friday
Starting this Friday, our new traineeship programme aimed at 16 to 18-year-olds, will enhance the skills and opportunities for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, exploring and supporting individuals with the transition from education into employment or further training.
Chris Barrett our Community Employment & Education manager said: “We are excited to add a new employability strand to our portfolio of work which we will look to develop our new Social, Education & Health Hub. Our three employability programmes will provide positive pathways and tailored support for local young people, to help prepare them for the world of work.“
