Traineeships Why –Youth unemployment continues to be an issue – Evidence suggests this group do want to work – Employers consistently report candidates are not “work ready” What is the aim? – To give this group a structured opportunity to get into work – Give the group the skills and experience to become attractive to employers – To make traineeships the preferred route for young people and employers who aspire to Apprenticeships/jobs What do they look like? – Available to 16-24 year olds (i.e. no older than 23) from August 2013 – Focused on those motivated to work – Not specifically aimed at those most disaffected (these groups may need more support)

- #7 Why does CSR matter? The benefits of having a CSR approach are: development/protection – employer brand/reputation Soft skills – leadership, communication, coaching/mentoring, increased job satisfaction, 70% young workers feel companies should use volunteering as a professional development tool
- #9 Objectives for the session.
- #11 And many more……. 170 frameworks 1500 job roles Matthew Hancock MP, Skills Minister, said: "We want to see it become the norm that young people either go to University or into an Apprenticeship. To match the growing popularity of Apprenticeships, I would urge more employers to consider how hiring an apprentice could benefit their business. “Research out last week showed that more than 70 per cent of employers say apprentices boosted their service or product (ii) – this is testament to the benefits of Apprenticeships for both young people and the wider economy." Among the fastest growing Apprenticeships, in terms of the percentage increase in vacancies advertised online, are Health Optical Retail (590% increase year on year), Vehicle Sales (500%), Facilities Management (263%) and Health Clinical Healthcare Support (iii). Apprenticeships in the Arts, Media and Publishing sector were most in demand during the past 12 months, with an average of 19 applications per vacancy (iv). The most competitive job areas were Live Events and Promotion (35 applications per vacancy), Plumbing and Heating (33) and Marine Industry (28).

- #12 Each level of Apprenticeship is equivalent to an academic qualification, this chart shows the commonly known equivalents. All Apprenticeships start at a Level 2, or Intermediate Apprenticeship. Once this is achieved the learner is able to progress onto Advanced Apprenticeships (Level 3) and in some cases onto a Higher Apprenticeship (Level 4) after that. Intermediate Apprenticeship - Competence that involves the application of knowledge in a significant range of varied work activities, performed in a variety of situations. Working with others, perhaps through membership of a work group or team, is often a requirement. Advanced Apprenticeship - Competence that involves the application of knowledge in a broad range of varied work activities performed in a wide variety of situations, most of which are complex and non-routine. There is considerable responsibility and autonomy and control or guidance of others is often required. Higher Apprenticeship - Competence that involves the application of knowledge in a broad range of complex, technical or professional work activities performed in a variety of situations and with a substantial degree of personal responsibility and autonomy. Responsibility for the work of others and the allocation of resources is often required.
- #16 The Apprenticeship Vacancies website holds thousands of vacancies from around the country. This website is being updated on a daily basis and is worth having a look at to see what kinds of jobs there are available. This is a particularly good website for those learners who do not know what they want to do once they leave school. The website shows them what different careers are all about, what they might be expected to do on a typical day etc. To apply for any jobs on the website you will need to register your details first. You need to say that this is a great route to Apprenticeships but they can also contact employers themselves and also ask friends and family if they have any positions for apprentices or know any other organisations that do.
- #17 Traineeships are not intended for: the most disengaged young people, who require very intensive support; those who already have the skills and experience needed to start an apprenticeship or find work; or those already in a job.
- #18 Employers want young people to have the right skills and attitude. Most young people given a chance will show their potential and enthusiasm. Traineeships new this year. 16 – 18 and up to 23 if some has a Statement of Educational Needs Substantial work experience placement (up to 30 hours per week) Support for maths and English if required Progress from a classroom based environment onto an Apprenticeship We’ll help you find the right opportunity.
