During your internship you can begin to consider what other courses and skills development training you can access, if you are not offered a permanent position with your employer, or if you decide to continue your study or training with another organisation or business. Choices include:
Education and training courses for adults aged 19+ (must be 19 on the 1st of August of the current academic year). They result in formal, accredited qualifications that are recognized by future employers.
Apprenticeships are available for individuals over the age of 16 and combine on the job training with study. Apprenticeships are available up to a university degree level & above (level 7) and can be completed in a range of sectors.
Skills Bootcamps are flexible training courses for adults aged 19+ (you must be 19 on the 1st of August of the current academic year). They are available in a range of sectors such as digital, engineering or green skills. They may not necessarily result in an accredited qualification.
The courses help improve career opportunities and include an interview with an employer. These courses are free for learners who are self-employed, unemployed, or looking for a career change.
Skills Bootcamps can last up to 16 weeks and for a minimum of 60 Guided Learning hours.
