unlocking potential
You will undertake a pathway of development tailored to your potential outcome. The course will encompass professional skill acquisition, personal skill development and work-based learning/training.
We'll look at your skills and qualities and find you a work-based learning placement in an area of your choice, while our dedicated Work Placement Officer will support you with work-based questions.
You can try placements in various industries if you're unsure which career path you'd like to follow, and each placement enhances your CV with valuable experience and employer references.
traineeships
There are also opportunities to progress into full-time employment or an Apprenticeship with your work placement, or you can enrol in the Traineeship scheme.
As a trainee, you’ll study with us to gain the general personal development skills and industry-specific qualifications required to succeed in your chosen job. We’ll also help you to write and optimise your CV and work on your interview techniques and develop other key professional skills.
