Glasgow offers a wide range of training programmes across the city. There is something for everyone!
You can choose a programme that suits you. Training usually lasts 8 - 12 weeks, between 2 and 5 days per week. There are different stages of training depending on what you want to do. You may get paid a training allowance every week of £55 plus travel. See an explanation of each stage below.
Stage 1
If you think you might need some one-to-one support with an experienced coach, to help you consider your options and next steps, the On Route team is here to support you. When you’re working with a coach, they will help you build your confidence and skills and knowledge to help prepare you for the future. Follow this link to find out more on the On Route page.
Stage 2
If you’re comfortable working with others and want to develop your employability skills, gain knowledge about the world of work and learn how to access employment opportunities then Stage 2 is right for you. In most Stage 2 training programmes you will gain a qualification and possibly have the opportunity to do a work placement with an employer.
Stage 3
If you are ready for a work placement focussed programme and are confident, have good timekeeping skills, and feel ready for work, a Stage 3 is right for you. In addition, if you are looking for a more specialist programme (focused on something like hospitality, construction or social care) these can be found at Stage 3 level.
Stage 4
If you have completed a Stage 2 or 3 programme, or have previous work experience, a Stage 4 may be for you. These programmes mainly support you into a workplace and have you going out to work very quickly as they expect you to be work ready.
