Residents of Barking and Dagenham aged 19 to 24 are being invited to take advantage of a 12-week traineeship with the Adult College. 

 

The traineeship opportunity will provide participants with the chance to improve their potential and prepare them for a career in hospitality, fitness and customer service.

 

Interested residents will be expected to meet the eligibility requirements and attend a pre assessment interview.

 

In addition, they will need to commit to a combination of classroom-based activities and work placements with high profile employers over the 12-week period.

“I will encourage as many of our residents who are interested to give it a try.”
