12 Week Football Traineeship
A traineeship is a government funded flexible education and training programme with work experience, that unlocks the great potential of young people, aged 16 to 24.
It provides high quality work experience with an employer, with work preparation training. This gives young people the skills and experience that employers are looking for, helping them secure an apprenticeship, further education or job in the future.
Traineeships have been developed in response to research showing that young people frequently lack the knowledge and experience employers expect in the workplace.
LES work closely with learners, businesses and sports clubs to design high quality traineeship programmes that are beneficial for all.
