It is a superb way to give yourself the best chance of securing work, while you gain qualifications and put yourself in the shop window with the employer you do the work experience with!

The Fleetwood Town FC Traineeship lasts 8 weeks, and in this time you will achieve a L1 Employability qualification, L1 Customer Service qualification and your skills gained will include; Functional Skills – Maths & English, Communication, Professionalism, Rapport Building and Client Satisfaction. The ‘Employability’ element of the course involves CV writing, mock interviews and applying for jobs – all needed to secure the employment you are looking for!

This will really make your CV stand out from the crowd!

This course prepares you well for an apprenticeship or regular employment and provides you with the qualifications that employers are looking for – all in just 8 weeks. You will also be entered in to Northern Apprenticeship’s talent pool upon completion of the course which will enable us to match you to appropriate apprenticeships in your area.

You will spend 8 weeks at Fleetwood Town FC’s Highbury Stadium, where 3 days per week will be gaining work experience with various companies who partner with FTFC. This is fantastic as the employer could even employ you once you finish the course, if you impress them! The remaining 2 days will be spent working on your employability skills, customer service and your maths and English (if needed). Your classroom will be at the Training complex at Poolfoot Farm.

Upon completion you will be invited to an Achievement Ceremony at the ground where you will be presented with your certificates, FTFC match day tickets and a ‘High Flyer’ award of a ‘VIP Match Day Experience’ will also be presented where the best performer from each group will be invited to watch a match as a VIP from the luxurious comfort of an FTFC Executive Box.
