• are able to work effectively with young people;
• are confident, motivated and well-organised;
• can work constructively with other people in a team;
• are self-aware and open to learning;
• can embrace and engender a climate of equality, diversity and inclusion;
• are able to communicate in accurate, confident written and spoken Standard English;

Partnership leaders say ‘you can tell a KEC trainee a mile-off’. They are right. Trainees are highly professional, reflective and dedicated.
