Traineeships / Apprenticeships / Shipley College

Ideal if you are 16-24*, enthusiastic, but not quite ready or qualified for an apprenticeship or a job, you could start a Traineeship.

*Also if you are aged 19 - 25 and subject to a Learning Difficulty Assessment (LDA) or an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) issued by your home local authority, you can also apply.

We know it’s not easy for you, especially if you have little or no work experience and few or no qualifications. Traineeships help bridge the gap between the skills that you have and those that employers need.
