Traineeships framework

Minister for Skills, Matthew Hancock, has published a framework for delivery for traineeships.

The framework sets out how the programme will be delivered from August 2013 for 16-19 year olds. The government will look to extend the programme up to age 24 in due course.

Building on feedback received in response to the discussion paper published in January 2013, it also sets out practical information about how the new programme will work and how organisations and young people can get involved.
