What’s involved in a Traineeship?
When supporting a trainee through their traineeship qualifications, the training provider has a number of responsibilities:
- Ensure that the Trainee is receiving meaningful and high-quality education with respect to the qualification(s) being studied
- The safety of trainees during their training and work placement
- Liaising with an employer to provide a minimum of 70 hours of work experience, up to a limit of 240 hours for benefit claimants
- Provide work preparation training based on the trainee’s and employer’s needs
- Provide support in Functional Skills: English, Maths and digital support if required
- Encourage participation in the programme and develop the trainee’s skills
- You should include optional sector-specific technical and professional qualifications to help the learner prepare for occupational standards within apprenticeships, or employment once the traineeship has completed
