Traineeships
Here at Barking & Dagenham College we work closely with employers to develop
both Traineeships and Apprenticeships opportunities. Traineeships are designed to
help unlock your potential and to prepare you for the world of work. They have been
developed to help motivated young adults just like you to develop the work-ready
skills that are attractive to employers.
By combining a high quality work experience
placement, English and Maths qualifications, and
work preparation, Traineeships are designed to
give you both the skills and confidence you need
to secure an Apprenticeship or a job.
How do I know if a Traineeship
is right for me?
You could be suitable if you are:
• Unemployed, or work less than 16 hours
a week, and have little work experience
• Aged 16 to 24 and qualified below Level 3
• Eligible and motivated to work
What qualifications do I
need to start a Traineeship?
You do not need any formal qualifications to
start a Traineeship, but you must be motivated,
enthusiastic and ready to continue your English
and Maths studies because these skills are
essential for any job.
If you do have qualifications they need to be
below Level 3.
How do I get started?

Traineeships please call us on 020 3667 0427.
There is also lots of information on our

section. You can also find out more at
www.gov.uk/find-traineeship and, if you
are in receipt of benefits, you should speak
to your Jobcentre Plus Adviser.
Will I be paid as a Trainee?
There is no salary with a Traineeship but the
experience will put you in a much better position
to compete for an Apprenticeship
or other jobs.
How long will a
Traineeship take?
Your Traineeship programme will last up
to a maximum of a year.
