Traineeships & Sector Based Work Academy

By partnering with the local Job Centre Plus, South Gloucestershire College and local schools, we can provide work experience opportunities through either the Sector Based Work Academy or a Traineeship.

These programmes give job seekers and young people the opportunity to:
