Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships offer a chance to gain experience of the workplace, a relevant qualification and a salary while working for an employer who is willing to train and support you kick starting a career and helping to develop valuable, transferable skills.
Young people in Suffolk can search career pathways and find Apprenticeship and Traineeship opportunities on the YOJO Careers and Apprenticeship App
Internships
Internships offer twelve-week summer placements for undergraduates commencing June each year. These are paid at the national living wage.
T-Levels
T-Levels were introduced in 2020 as part of the post-16 skills plan – designed to enable students to put their theory into practice and bridge the gap between education and the workplace. Each T-Level is equivalent to 3 A-Levels in 1 subject. As part of the course students are required to complete a 45 day industry placement.
Graduate traineeships
Traineeships offer graduates the opportunity to gain a broad experience of work in the public sector undertaking two 12 month placements over two years across the organisations while working towards an accredited business qualification. The salary will be £22,000.
Other opportunities
Graduate opportunities in social work, teaching and other professional disciplines, such as law, are also available. These are generally promoted at universities, through the media and on Suffolk Jobs Direct.
You will usually need to have studied a relevant qualification to be considered for these roles.
