There are a broad range of Careers websites available for you to use to increase your knowledge and give you advice. 

Job Search sites

If you are looking for employment there is several sites that many companies advertise job on part time and full time: 

Traineeship

 Traineeships are designed to help people who want to move into an apprenticeship or a job. Unlike apprentices, trainees don’t yet have some essential skills like English and maths, or have limited work experience. The traineeship aims to provide them with these. 

Traineeships last anything up to a maximum of six months, unlike apprenticeships, which go on for a number of years. 

Traineeships may also be unpaid (it is left up to the employer to make that decision) and are not subject to minimum wage laws, unlike apprenticeships, which legally must be paid and meet the Apprentice National Minimum Wage.
