WHAT ARE MY CHOICES?From September 2013, 16 years olds will be required to “participate” until the end of the academic year in which they turn 17.

From Summer 2015, all 17 year olds will be required to participate in education until the end of the academic year they turn 18.

Young people must engage in one of the following:• An Apprenticeship

• A Traineeship

• Study Programme

• Full time work involving at least 280 hours of education

• Full time education including A Levels

• Home education

STUDY PROGRAMME The Study Programme assists 16-19 year olds to gain qualifications and employability skills to progress into further education, an apprenticeship or employment. It offers a flexible programme which may include a mix of qualifications, including English and Maths for young people who have not achieved GSCE A*- C, and work experience.

TRAINEESHIPS

Traineeships prepare young people for their future careers by helping them to become ‘work ready’. They provide essential work preparation training, Maths and English and work experience needed to compete successfully for jobs, including Apprenticeships, or to progress to further learning.

WHO ARE TRAINEESHIPS FOR? Traineeships are an ideal opportunity for young people who are motivated to get a job but who lack the skills and experience that employers are looking for. Young people who have been applying unsuccessfully for Apprenticeship vacancies due to a lack of skills or experience could be good candidates for a Traineeship.

ARE YOU SUITABLE FOR A TRAINEESHIP?• Unemployed and need work

experience • Motivated to work • Aged 16 to 18 and qualified below

level 3 • Aged 19 to 23 and have not yet

achieved a full level 2 • Have not achieved GSCE Grade C or

equivalent in English and Maths

Employers are not required to pay young people taking part in Traineeships but are encouraged to support Learners with potential financial assistance such as travel costs.

Bursaries are available for young people aged 16-19 on a Study Programme or Traineeship subject to eligibility.

APPRENTICESHIPApprenticeships give you the chance to learn and gain nationally recognised qualifications while earning a wage. There is a national minimum wage for Apprentices - for more information log onto www.apprenticeships.org.uk

Apprenticeships can be studied from Level 2 up to Level 7 Higher Apprenticeships depending on your current skills and qualification.

There are a number of components and qualifications to each Apprenticeship. This is called the Apprenticeship Framework. This means you achieve a range of qualifications as you progress through your training and education. Each Apprenticeship framework has three main strands:

• A competence based element – NVQ/QCF

• A technical element – Technical Certificate

• A skills element – Functional Skills etc

The three strands are sometimes accompanied by additional qualifications to give the most relevant skills and knowledge required for your job role.

The Learning Provider provides the knowledge to develop your skills, while the employer provides the practical experience to put those skills to the test. Training can be classroom based, in a workshop or in the workplace, depending on the subject and on the Learning Provider.

BENEFITS OF AN APPRENTICESHIPThe key benefits are as follows:

•earn a wage

•gain qualifications

•get paid holidays

•receive training

• learn job- specific skills

HOW DO I APPLY?For more information you can:

•Visit our website www.tvwbl.net

•Visit the Apprenticeship Vacancies at www.apprenticeships.org.uk

•Speak to your careers teacher or careers personal advisor

WHERE DO THEY LEAD?Your current skills and qualifications will form the starting point for your Apprenticeship Journey. Learners starting on an Apprenticeship Level 2 framework can progress onto a Level 3 Apprenticeship.

Some learners, depending on qualifications will commence the programme at Level 3 and then they can progress onto a Higher Apprenticeship. There are plenty of options on completing an Apprenticeship programme to enter skilled employment and further training or to progress onto a Higher Apprenticeship either part time or full time.

HIGHER APPRENTICESHIPA Higher Apprenticeship incorporates a work-based learning programme and leads to a nationally recognised qualification at Level 4 and above:

•a level 4 or 5 is equivalent to a higher education certification, higher education diploma or a foundation degree

•a Level 6 is equivalent to a bachelor degree

•a Level 7 is equivalent to a master’s degree
