The Government is offering sector specific traineeship pilots in construction and rail to help young people gain the skills and confidence they need to get a job or progress into an apprenticeship within specific parts of the economy. The announcement was made during National Apprenticeship Week 2021 (8 - 14 February).

= Career development =

The purpose of this pilot initiative is to provide work experience that will enable more young people to progress in their careers, with many able to potentially complete their apprenticeships more quickly as a result of prior learning covered in the traineeship programme. Apprenticeships and traineeships play a key part in the Government’s Plan for Jobs, which is designed to protect, support and create jobs for all ages.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, apprentices worked on the front line, with many playing important roles. At the Science and Technology Facilities Council, advanced engineering apprentices Jack Day, Christopher Robinson and Christopher Young helped to produce 20 years’ worth of mechanical ventilators in just 12 weeks.

Apprenticeships and Skills Minister Gillian Keegan feels the programme can benefit individuals by giving them “the chance to earn while you learn,” while opening up new career paths that can transform lives.” It can also benefit business by “giving access to new talent from all backgrounds,” she added.

Since 2013, the traineeship programme has helped nearly 120,000 young people get on the career path. Figures for the academic year 2019/20 show that 66% of trainees get a job, take up an apprenticeship or go on to further study within six months of completing their programme.

The apprenticeship programmes last between six weeks and 12 months and focus on developing vital employability skills. These are offered alongside additional English, maths and digital skills and combined with a work placement lasting a minimum of 70 hours.

Steve Radley, Director of Strategy and Policy at CITB says, “Getting more college students into construction jobs is a big challenge which the construction traineeship should make a lot easier by providing a springboard for learners to start work or an apprenticeship. With job opportunities growing in construction, this is the right time for industry, Government, colleges and CITB to work together on practical solutions to bridge the gap between further education (FE) and work. Starting with bricklaying and moving on to the other occupations in a few months, we can make real progress.”

Neil Robertson, Chief Executive at the National Skills Academy for Rail (NSAR) adds, “Through traineeships, NSAR is delighted to be creating new opportunities for talent to access the rail sector. It is critical that we accelerate our ambitions to engage, attract and recruit for industries’ future skills needs.
