Here at Resources North East we specialise in Construction, IT, Business Administration and Customer Services. However we can work with our partners to deliver almost any apprentice programme with the potential to design the training to suit the business requirements.

We work with learners looking for Apprenticeship Training and also with companies looking to train their existing apprentices.

The Study Programme offers hands on experience in all of the courses offered with a recognised qualification on completion of the training.

Study Programmes run 4 days a week for 16 weeks. This is a comprehensive accredited training package delivered by industry professionals giving theoretical and practical skills. All programmes are delivered at our award winning training centres with the opportunity to work with local employers.

Training includes Occupational Skills, Employability Skills and Functional Skills where needed. On completion of the Study Programme learners can progress onto a Traineeship Programme or directly into an Apprenticeship.

Traineeships are designed to help young people who want to get an apprenticeship or job but don’t yet have appropriate skills or experience.

Traineeships are an ideal opportunity for young people, aged 16 to 24, who are motivated to get a job but lack the skills and experience that employers are looking for. Those who have been unsuccessful when applying for an apprenticeship or other job due to a lack of skills and experience are most likely be good candidates for a traineeship.
