The Traineeship Staff Support Programme is commissioned and funded by the Education and Training Foundation
This website was set up to provide easy access to the resources and case studies developed by a project in the Eastern Region that aimed to improve the quality of teaching on Traineeship programmes with a focus on English and Maths, employability and basic occupational skills. The project was funded by the Educational and Training Foundation and was managed nationally by the Association of Employment and Learning Providers. It was 
delivered regionally by Cambridge Regional College in partnership with ACER (Association of Colleges in the Eastern Region) and six partner providers. The project had five objectives –
- to share good practice in the delivery of Traineeship programmes across the project provider base
- to identify the staff development needs of English and Maths tutors as they develop progression routes through both Functional Skills and GCSE qualifications
- to review materials and teaching strategies to embed English and Maths learning at induction and within employability and vocational skills programmes
- to develop good practice ‘How to’ guides covering key aspects of teaching and learning
- to explore ways in which support staff may gain L3 Awards in English and Maths
Partners
The project had six partner providers:
- Anne Clarke Associates Ltd
- Broadland Council Training Services
- Cambridgeshire County Council Adult Learning and Skills
- Cambridge Regional College
- Easton and Otley College
