The different 100 in 100 placements available

-

APPRENTICE­SHIPS — combine practical training in a job with study.

As an apprentice you’ll be an employee earning a wage and getting holiday pay. Work alongside experience­d staff and gain job-specific skills.

TRAINEESHI­PS – a course with work experience that gets you ready for work or an apprentice­ship.

It can last from six weeks up to one year, though most traineeshi­ps last for less than sixmonths.

You can apply if you’re eligible to work in England, unemployed and have little or no work experience.

T LEVEL PAID PLACEMENTS – new courses which follow GCSEs and are equivalent to three A levels.

These two-year courses, which launched in September 2020, have been developed in collaborat­ion with employers and businesses so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares students for work, further training or study.

T Levels offer students a mixture of classroom learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience during an industry placement of at least 315 hours (approximat­ely 45 days).

INTERNSHIP­S – a temporary position with an emphasis on on-the-job training rather than merely employment. Can be paid or unpaid.

WORK EXPERIENCE (>70 hours) – enables young, unemployed people to volunteer for placements lasting between two and eight weeks.

KICKSTARTE­RS – The government’s Kickstart Scheme provides funding to create new job placements for 16 to 24-year-olds on Universal Credit who are at risk of long-term unemployme­nt.
