Hello everybody

I found that there is not a word 'traineeship' in well-known online dictionaries. Could anyone explain why?

Now I am receiving a training with the tax office in my hometown and I'd like to write it down in my CV. Could I write:


The Tax Office in Jerusalem
clerk - traineeship


Or shall I use other word such as 'training'? But I think that 'training' is ambiguous:?:

The Tax Office in Jerusalem
clerk - training


which version is better and why?


thanks

PS
If I made a grammar mistake in my post (spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc), please correct it.

There is a word "traineeship", but it is not very common. Also in some dictionaries it it is defined as financial aid that supports a training program (similar to scholarship).

Dictionary.com lists the definition you want: Traineeship | Define Traineeship at Dictionary.com

However, you might want use a word that is more common, such as "internship".
 
Yes, internship, or study work term, or job placement are more common.

Thank you

internship is a US-word. To sum up I can write


The Tax Office in Jerusalem
clerk - job placement/work placement/trainee post



correct?
