Lolly Production Trainee Programme
In our 2022 season we developed and piloted our very own Lolly Production Trainee Programme
This collaborative programme offered paid part-time work over 2 months, created with the participants and individualized to their needs, learning goals and skills. It was open to those who face barriers in the workforce because of a hidden health condition or disability. It focused on developing skills in food hygiene, production and packaging, offering access to a level 2 certified qualification, as well as development opportunities in other areas of business. We provided support in work readiness, getting into a work-day routine, building confidence, facilitating positive conversations around access to work and reasonable adjustments, building a CV with practical work experience and supporting individuals to thrive in a workplace environment in this paid traineeship.
A total of 4 individuals from our local community have benefitted from this scheme in 2022.

We are hoping to roll out this opportunity to more trainees during our next season
