What is a traineeship?

A traineeship is a training program where someone can learn from experienced personnel in their field and develop the skills and knowledge to eventually lead to a full-time position. A traineeship can be a great option if you are a recent graduate or someone looking to break into a new field. Traineeships can last anywhere from a few months to a year, and usually, a successful trainee will be expected to stay with the company and accept a full-time position afterward.

What’s the difference between a traineeship and an internship?

Whether you’re browsing through available internships or traineeships, each role will differ in length, compensation, and requirements based on the company. Though typically, an internship lasts about six months or less and is offered to students to help them develop real-life work experience alongside their studies. In some cases, interns earn little to no monetary compensation but instead get credits toward their degree. Meanwhile, a trainee will always receive payment for their time, and they are treated more as a regular employee than a short-term staff member.

If you think an internship would be a more suitable choice for you, check out our listings in the Internships category. You can also peruse any category and apply search filters to only show internship opportunities.
