4. Our programme
Bespoke matching. Our Project Co-ordinators assess each young person in order to understand their interests, abilities and aspirations. They then approach businesses in the local community to find the perfect placement employer to suit each trainee. On-the-job training. Trainees spend up to six months with their placement employer, learning skills from their elders in a real work environment.

5. Our programme
Workplace mentoring. Each trainee is designated a mentor in the workplace to ensure one-to-one attention and teaching. Our young people are also supported by their WorkingRite Project Co-ordinator who regularly visits, calls and conducts reviews to make sure they are happy and progressing well. Extras. WorkingRite trainees are paid a weekly training allowance, receive travel expenses and are given any protective clothing or equipment they need for their role.
