Support students at The Sand Project - Host a trainee!
Host a trainee on work experience with this supported programme that connects local businesses with young talent. It’s a great way to help individuals build confidence, independence and real-world skills, while bringing fresh energy and an extra pair of hands into your team.
The programme is designed to be simple and flexible:
✔️ All admin is handled, from matching trainees to setting objectives and completing paperwork.
✔️ Support is available with risk assessments to make hosting straightforward.
✔️ A job coach can be on-site each day to support both the trainee and your team.
✔️ Placements are tailored to suit your business, typically one day a week for at least a month.
If a regular placement isn’t possible, you can opt for a one-day visit with a small group of trainees to showcase your business. The scheme has already been successfully delivered with a range of local employers across sectors including retail, hospitality, printing and theatre.
If you’re interested in hosting, get in touch to discuss what your business could offer and to be matched with a suitable trainee.
