Traineeships are short training programmes of usually 9-18 months’ duration that combine practical and technical training to give your people a formal qualification. They are a great way to up-skill and cross-skill your teams.
Apprenticeships combine theoretical and on-the-job training resulting in a level 4 qualification. They are available in some forestry disciplines, combining two qualifications into a programme. Apprentices dedicate a longer-term commitment to the industry.
