Apprenticeships can give school-leavers a chance to learn as they work, and can also be used to upskill existing staff. They range from level two – which is GCSE level – to level seven, which is the equivalent of a master’s degree. 

A traineeship is a skills development programme  designed to give learners the skills and confidence they need to progress into work with training (preferably an apprenticeship) and vary from 6 weeks up to 1 year, though most traineeships last for less than 6 months.

Our team of Skills Facilitators provide a free, impartial consultancy service to small businesses in the North East, helping them to identify the skills needs, training and finance options that will help them grow.
