started on your dream career?
A School Based Apprenticeship or Traineeship
could be the answer!
SO HOW DO THEY WORK?

Traineeships allow you to combine your schooling
with work and formal study to achieve a Nationally
Recognised Qualification.
This type of learning is a great way to get your
career off to a kick start while you are still at school.

NORMALLY…..
In any other year atEAST would have required potential students
to have completed work experience in their chosen field.
In the current COVID19 climate we understand
that this may not have been possible for our
2021 intake.
All students are welcome to apply for our program and where
possible we will work with you and your school to organise work
trials with potential employers.
We already have many employment opportunities
available for 2021 in our traineeship fields and
whilst the economic climate is very fluid currently,
employers are still interested in taking on
apprentices in the traditional trades as they have,
in most cases, remained busy.The following slide explains the
