Athena Aspire is a new company set up to help people of all ages get ahead in life. We work with a lot of partners some very big and some very small. Our aim is to work with you whether you are an employer or someone looking to make a change in your life.
We are committed to helping our community to be a better place to live. We specialise in mentoring and tailoring learning needs to the individual. It’s not all about English and Maths (although we do those) it’s also about life skills and those little opportunities that turn out to be big ones.
We are a social enterprise based in the Humber region and we care passionately about being good at what we do. We have an independent Board of Directors who keep us on our toes to make sure we work for you.
Traineeships are a stepping stone for future success. If you work less than 16 hours a week and want to build your CV in preparation for an Apprenticeship or other worthwhile employment, then a Traineeship may be right for you. You will not receive a wage but expenses, were appropriate, are provided. Athena Aspire will help you through.
At Athena Aspire we are focused to make sure there are good opportunities for all of our Trainees. We currently work with Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals along with a range of other employers to provide varied and high quality working experiences for young people between the ages of 18 -24.
You will not receive a wage but expenses are provided. Athena Aspire will help you through the process of securing a Traineeship. We will help you build your CV and get the qualifications you need.
