I was offered a traineeship role, but i am not sure whether to take it or not as they said if you quit in a certain amount of time, you have to pay them back for the training. Has anyone taken on a role like this, was it worth it or did they regret it. I hate feeling stuck, im someone who needs to feel comfortable and supported in a centre.

When I first started in this industry I did a traineeship and I personally enjoyed it! I loved the hands on experience I received and the fact that I could work and study... my Centre was supportive and the staff were fantastic! I learnt a lot!
However not to be negative, from what other users have experienced and shared in this forum itself, some educators pursuing a traineeship didn’t have such a good experience... they didn’t get support, they were stuck with the crappy jobs... so at a few services doing a traineeship can be negative...
I don’t think that you should have to pay if you leave... and you don’t really know how the Centre is until after a few weeks and you settle in... if you don’t fit in with the Centre staff, you’ll feel stuck because you’ll have to pay to leave and you don’t want that hanging over your head..
Can you maybe negotiate that you will start your traineeship only after your probation period ends if you would like to continue on with the Centre... that way you can see if you like the Centre and you want to continue working with them... it doesn’t Hurt to ask...
