•
Applies to all 16-19 year olds
•
Students will take either academic programme
or a substantial vocational qualification
recognised by employers – these must help
them secure skilled work or a university place
•
Where appropriate students will also take part in
work experience
•
Participate in value-added non-qualification
activity
•
Students who don’t have GCSEs grade C in
English and maths at 16 will continue to study
these subjects
•
Students who aren’t able to study a substantial
qualification will take a programme of work
experience and continue to develop their
numeracy and literacy skills

Deprivation
Block one:
• Based on student’s home postcode
• Deprivation is calculated using Index of
Multiple Deprivation 2010. This
examines the student’s home area
based on: income; employment; health
and disability; education, skills and
training; housing and services; living
environment; and crime
• Uplift is between 8.4% and 33.6%

Traineeships
Aim: To provide a new training route for young people who are motivated by and
focused on work, but who do not yet have the experience or skills to secure suitable
employment, including an Apprenticeship.
For 16-19 year olds they will form a key strand of Study Programmes
For 19-24 year olds they will fit with the wider set of initiatives for this group.
Traineeship core features
We propose that Traineeships will contain three core elements:
 A focused period of work preparation training
 A substantial, meaningful work placement
 English and maths for young people who have not achieved a GCSE Grade C
Many of the students on Traineeships will be in the ‘Extended Work Experience group
