16-19 Study Programme

ESFA Logo

The new 16-19 Study Programme is very similar to Humber Learning Consortium’s (HLC) previous Traineeship programme, which was ended by the Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) in July 2023.

The Study Programmes are designed to help young people, aged 16 to 18, living in the Hull area, to find an apprenticeship or a job by helping them to obtain the appropriate skills and experience to progress into work. They aim to support motivated individuals into paid employment or an apprenticeship within six months of completing the programme. 

Each one of HLC’s Study Programmes consist of a high-quality work experience placement with an employer and the opportunity to gain qualifications in Maths and English (for those who have not yet achieved a GCSE grade 4 or equivalent too), alongside accredited vocational skills courses if required. A built-in work preparation element also helps a young person develop the skills needed to find and secure employment including, team building skills, interview techniques and how to complete online applications.

The programmes are flexible and typically last two-six months. HLC currently work with  3 delivery partners across Hull. For more information please contact the relevant provider.

Ofsted success

Humber Learning Consortium has yet again been awarded the status of a “Good” independent learning provider, following an Ofsted inspection in June 2022. This follows the same result from Ofsted in 2020, 2015 and 2012.

Whilst the Ofsted inspection focused on the Traineeship provision, all of HLC’s programmes are delivered following similar principles, so many of the themes noted within the report are reflected in all of our programmes and the impact that our provision has on learners overall. 

For more information and to see the report please visit our Ofsted page
