Training in2 Employment

Training in2 Employment

Training in2 employment provides training and work placement for entry-level jobs. It enables both applicant and employer to understand the ‘match’ to the job.

Training in2 Employment offers help to those receiving unemployment benefits to transition into employment, unlocking potential talent into the workforce.

Training in2 Employment can offer placements of up to six weeks and includes three main components:

1. Pre-employment training – matched to the skills required for the job.
2. Work experience placement – a great opportunity for your business to identify talent on the job and for the individual to cement their knowledge and understanding of the required role.
3. A guaranteed job interview – to recruit directly into the role you are recruiting.

An important feature of Training in2 Employment is that each one offers a flexible approach and can be adapted to meet the needs of your business.

Bespoke training package for your business

If you are unable to offer all three components, we can develop a bespoke training package to meet your needs.

Participants remain on benefits while on a Training in2 Employment placement. The government will pay any travel and childcare costs whilst benefit claimants are on the scheme.

There is no direct cost to an employer for running a Training in2 Employment programme as training and administration costs are covered by government funding.
