- Submit a general enquiry and include 'Targeted Traineeships Expression of Interest' in your response, alongside above information.

Submit a general enquiry to express your interest
Once we have reviewed Expressions of Interest, we will invite longlisted organisations to attend a training and information day which will be co-delivered by Children’s Capital of Culture and Ramps on the Moon. This session will include training and discussion around how we define disability, the benefits and challenges of working with disabled employees, the types of support available, and what will be expected of host organisations on this programme.
To be considered for the next stage of the application, attendance by one member of your organisation at this training session is mandatory.
On completion of this consultation and training session, organisations will be invited to submit a formal application to become a funded targeted trainee host.
