Trainee Connect
Trainee Connect is an initiative of The Youth Partnership, designed to help young people take the next step into employment while making it easier for employers to find enthusiastic local talent.
Whether you’re looking to start your career or recruit your next apprentice or trainee, Trainee Connect brings students, employers and opportunities together in one place.
Leaving school can be exciting, but finding that first opportunity isn’t always easy.
Many employers are searching for motivated young people, while students often struggle to find businesses willing to give them their first chance.
Trainee Connect bridges that gap by connecting employers with young people seeking apprenticeships, traineeships, casual employment and entry-level career opportunities.
A service by The Youth Partnership, the platform extends the support we provide through work placements by helping young people transition from education into meaningful employment.
Whether you’re still at school, seeking a School Based Apprenticeship/Traineeship (SBAT), finishing Year 12 or looking to start your career, Trainee Connect helps you connect with employers who are looking for people just like you.
