This week is the start of an interesting journey for three young people who are spending over two months gaining work experience at Ransomwood. They will be working with the grounds maintenance team learning practical skills and seeing first-hand how to manage a woodland environment.
Some of the tasks will be to complete footpaths in the woodlands which will help Ransomwood by increasing access and egress in to the green spaces for all the Tenants and visitors to enjoy.
This work placement is part of a Traineeship programme being run in partnership between the Inspire and Achieve Foundation and West Nottinghamshire College. Aimed at 19-24 year olds who are not in education, employment or training the Traineeship programme runs over four months and helps the participants improve their English, maths, employability skills, and helps them gain substantial experience within the working world.
What’s great about this programme is that the partnership with the charity, The Inspire and Achieve Foundation, means that the participants are mentored and supported throughout the programme, and the host business have access to a lot more support than usually offered via Traineeships or Apprenticeships. Their involvement also enables young people who need the most support to access the programme and take huge steps towards gaining employment. If a business is looking for new staff it’s a great opportunity to see a young person operating within the workplace before any commitment is made.
With a lack of work experience being the biggest barrier for young people when seeking employment, hosting a Traineeship can have a huge impact on the young person you work with.
