2 Traineeship policy background Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg speech at the CBI s Jobs Summit on youth unemployment, 27 June 2012 Skills Minister Matthew Hancock outlines a Traineeships discussion paper 10 Jan 2013 HRH the Queen mentions Traineeships in her speech on 8 May DfE / BIS publish Framework document on 9 May Spending Round 2013 on 26 June confirms traineeships will also be eligible for 19 to 24 year-olds from 1 August 2013 Government update Framework for Delivery document to include detail, and FE Week publish special traineeship report on 17 July What are traineeships? Aimed at year-olds not currently in a job, have little work experience, but who are focused on work or the prospect of it and a reasonable chance of being ready for employment or an apprenticeship within six months of engaging in a traineeship Starts from 1 August, which is in: 1 week 7 days 168 hours 10,080 minutes 604,800 seconds Sounds simple right? 2

3 Updated Framework July 17 th (England) Different prior attainment eligibility Still await work placement rate No new funding (except 12m for some ITPs) No relaxation of DWP benefit restrictions Only for some grade 1 and 2 providers Two different funding methodologies 1. Work placement : key features We expect the duration of the work placement within a traineeship to be at least six weeks* and no more than five months. This does not have to be taken consecutively. Simulated work placements, such as in workshops within training providers may well form a helpful part of work preparation training but will not count as work placements for the purposes of traineeships. We expect the lead employer for the work placement to be identified before young people are recorded on a traineeship. Guaranteed job or exit interview with employer at the end of the placement. Work placement is exempt from minimum wage legislation (no wage required) We will not offer central financial incentives to organisations hosting work placements as part of traineeships, but there is nothing to stop providers using the funding they receive to offer support and incentives locally if they decide that is what is needed to generate high quality placements. 3

4 2. Work preparation : key features The content of the work preparation training will be up to providers and employers to agree. We expect this to include any personal and social skills that the young person needs to develop in order to get the most out of their work placement and prepare them for future employment. It is important that work preparation training covers both the skills that young people will need to find and secure a job (for example, job search techniques, CV writing and interview skills) and the skills and attributes that they need to sustain that job (such as planning, time-keeping, team working, self-confidence, resilience and strength of character). Initial training should also include preparation for the specific work placement the young person will be undertaking. 3 & 4. English and maths : key features To fit with wider study programme principles, trainees will need to work towards GCSE A*-C in English and maths, including through the study of functional skills. In the majority of cases, we expect that functional skills will be the most appropriate qualifications for trainees to study in the first instance. As part of traineeships, young people can study these at Entry Level, Level 1 or Level 2 depending on their prior attainment. Where they have already achieved a functional skills qualification at Level 2, they will be required to work towards the achievement of a GCSE grade A* to C. Providers should aim to support young people to complete their qualifications within their traineeship where possible. In some cases it may take longer for a young person to achieve these crucial elements. We would expect young people to continue and complete these qualifications, together with any vocational qualifications they have begun, as part of their wider study programme. 4

Prior attainment The core target group for traineeships will be young people who are 16-19 and qualified below Level 3 or 19-24 and have not yet achieved a full Level 2* *For 19-24 year olds, the

5 Prior attainment The core target group for traineeships will be young people who are and qualified below Level 3 or and have not yet achieved a full Level 2* *For year olds, the programme will be available only for those who have not yet achieved their first full Level 2 qualification. For year olds, providers will have flexibility to work with young people who have Level 2 qualifications but not Level 3, reflecting the need for young people aged to undertake high quality work experience in preparation for employment.
