Ex-Military Traineeships in the East Midlands

Are you: Ex-Military or Reservists? Aged 16-24 years of age? Based in the East Midlands?

YOUR COUNTRY STILL NEEDS YOU

Without doubt, leaving the Armed Forces can be a daunting prospect. Your time in the Service will have given you a wealth of skills and experiences that people in civilian life just can’t match – attitude, team spirit and the ability to deliver with limited resources.

There’s no denying being ex-military is going to make you stand out from the rest as different.

Whether this difference is viewed positively depends on you having the ‘work-ready’ skills and confidence to complement your military training. These skills are in demand and are exactly what logistics employers need.

A STEPPING STONE FROM THE MILITARY INTO A QUALITY LOGISTICS JOB

The team at Skills for Logistics, Future Horizons, Career Transition Partnerships, Job Centre Plus and leading logistics employers have developed a short, practical Traineeship Programme that will provide the functional skills needed to step out of the Service and into either a logistics apprenticeship or a full-time logistics career.

The duration of the programme is a minimum of 6 weeks to a maximum of 10 weeks depending on the nature of the traineeship and is supported by leading UK logistics employers.

PRACTICAL ‘WORK READY’ SKILLS

The Programme will give you ‘work ready skills’ at Level 1 in the classroom and on site practical skills within the workplace. In addition, with coaching and mentoring, the Programme will give you the confidence you need to do the job.

Employers have a variety of opportunities available. For those of you who are over the age of 18 and may be interested in becoming a professional LGV driver, there may be opportunities for you to take your LGV licence fully funded, leading to a full time career as a professional driver.

At the end of the programme, there will be a guaranteed job interview with the possibility of an offer of employment with a quality logistics company.
