Traineeships at Gloucestershire County Council

A traineeship is a tailor-made programme of support for young people aged 16-24 who want to work but need extra help to gain employment. A traineeship can give you the opportunity to develop new skillsets and workplace experience to enhance long-term career development. This is organised by the council and run by PTS, our third party training provider, and can include work or apprenticeship experience in other businesses and sectors.

A traineeship with PTS will provide you with the opportunity to reach your personal best – your employment journey could start right here.

Our programme includes:

  • an initial development plan and assessment to create a programme to suit you
  • a high-quality work placement of your choice – a structured, meaningful and substantial experience to enhance your CV and workplace                               skills and improve your confidence and employment prospects 
  • English and maths qualifications for those who have not yet achieved a GCSE grade A–C or equivalent; we will help you to develop these skills
  • pre-employment training including: how to write good CVs and application forms, interview preparation placement matching, sector-based                           discussions, improving your communication skills, entrepreneurship projects, confidence-building and much more
  • ICT classes and other training you’ll need for your chosen career
  • in-work placement support to help you settle into your new company and role
  • next-step planning to support your development beyond the work placement and towards paid employment.
