Traineeships prepare young people for employment, so that they are able to progress successfully to apprenticeships and other sustainable jobs. Work experience in Traineeships provides young people with the experience of a real workplace so that they can develop the skills, knowledge, confidence, attitudes and behaviours they need to succeed at work.

Juniper offers Traineeships to 16-18 year olds (19-24 with an EHCP) across all of our centres. In addition to this 19-24 year olds in Wednesbury, Walsall, Waterfront, Derby, Burton, Wolverhampton and Leicester are also able to access a Traineeship.

The primary objective of a Traineeship is for young people to secure sustainable employment, an apprenticeship or a course of further learning. Traineeships are designed to benefit young people that are within six months of being able to progress. Traineeships last for up to a maximum of 6 months and reflect the needs of the student.

Traineeships at Juniper include:
•Work Experience in the occupational area of interest with real employers (the main part of the course)
•GCSEs and Functional Skills in English & Maths
•The skills for the world of work, including CV building, interview techniques, communication and confidence
