2 Weeks of Intensive Training: The journey begins with two weeks of targeted training, focusing on key areas such as job readiness, communication skills, teamwork, and industry-specific knowledge. Our experienced trainers deliver engaging and interactive sessions to ensure participants are well-prepared for their upcoming placements.

10 Weeks of Paid Work Placement: Following the training period, participants transition into a 10-week paid work placement with a reputable employer. During this time, they will apply their newly acquired skills in a real-world setting, gaining valuable experience and building professional networks. All placements are paid at the National Living Wage (NLW), ensuring fair compensation for their efforts.

Benefits of the Program:

Enhanced Employability: Participants develop practical skills and gain work experience that significantly improve their employability prospects.

Financial Stability: The paid placement provides financial support, allowing participants to focus on their professional growth without economic stress.

Professional Networking: Working with established employers enables participants to build connections that can lead to future employment opportunities.

Personal Growth: The combination of training and work experience fosters increased confidence, self-esteem, and a clearer understanding of career goals.
