WHAT IS AN APPRENTICESHIP? An Apprenticeship is a way for young people and adult learners to earn while they learn in a real job, gaining a real qualification and a real future. Hiring apprentices helps businesses to grow their own talent by developing a motivated, skilled and qualified workforce. Quality is key to Apprenticeships – NECC provide high quality training that benefits both apprentices and employers.

More than 100,000 employers, in over 160,000 workplaces, currently use Apprenticeships to attract new talent, re-skill existing staff and tackle skill shortages. Apprenticeships are available to businesses of all sizes and from all sectors in England. Employment is a fundamental part of an Apprenticeship. An apprentice must be employed in a job role with a productive purpose.

TRAINEESHIPS:

Preparing young people for the world of work What are Traineeships? Traineeship programmes* support young people to develop skills that will enable them to progress onto Apprenticeships or other forms of sustainable employment. What are the aims and objectives of the programme? Traineeships are flexible programmes designed to help address skills gaps that may prevent young people from accessing an Apprenticeship or moving into mainstream employment. Traineeship programmes run for a maximum of 6 months, NECC are looking for local employers to support this initiative by offering real work experience. There is no requirement to offer a job at the end of the programme - although that would be a fantastic outcome! NECC will seek employment opportunities for these young people during the course of the programme and the anticipation is that many participants will move into our mainstream apprenticeship provision as a result of both parties support and guidance. What are the main elements of the programme? Learners will focus on 3 main areas throughout the duration of their programme;

8 NECC Training Prospectus

www.necc.co.uk

0300 303 6322

Work placements The duration of work placements should be at least 6 weeks and no more than 5 months, but exact durations will depend on individual learner needs and the employers we work with. Work placements will be identified before learners start the programme. Employers will be required to provide a reference and carry out a mock interview at the end of the programme. Employability Skills Training The content of this training is flexible and should address individual learner needs. NECC have a wide range of accredited units and modules available for the learners to work towards and achieve.

Learners will then attend a further 3 days’ work placement with an employer and the employer will provide them with the work experience required for their sector. What is the employers’ role in this? Employers are required to provide learners with a range of tasks and duties that will help provide an insight to their sector. Employers will offer support to the learners during their time in the workplace and they will be required to pay each learner £10 per day which will reimburse lunch and travel costs. We would suggest the hours of work are 9am to 4.30pm. How can employers get involved? NECC are looking for employers to help provide real work experience opportunities to our learners. NECC can provide you with advice and guidance on how you can get involved.

Our training programmes will include: - Interpersonal skills – personal and social development - CV writing - Interview preparation, a mock interview and feedback with NECC - Job-search skills - Vocational skills in a particular sector

*locations for the Traineeships Programme are subject to employer demand.

English and Maths Learners without at least a grade C in GCSE English and Maths will be required to undertake an English and Maths qualification. How will the programme be delivered? Each learner will attend one day release session with NECC on a weekly basis where we will deliver English, Maths and Employability Skills sessions.
