What's an Apprenticeship / Traineeship?

Apprenticeships and Traineeships provide existing employees with relevant skills, knowledge and hands on experience through structured workplace (on-the-job and off-the-job) training.

They are increasingly being used by employees to upgrade their skills, knowledge and qualification levels to compete in today's competitive employment market.

Unlike full-time university or college, Apprenticeships and Traineeships provide a wage, while progressing towards a qualification.

Apprenticeships and Traineeships provide you with:

• Upgraded skills and knowledge to meet the changing demands of today's multi-skilled work environment.
• A nationally recognised qualification (without a debt), which you can use anywhere in Australia and in many cases overseas
• Training specifically designed by your industry for your industry, making it relevant to your job
• The opportunity to take on greater work responsibilities, which could lead onto higher paying positions
• A choice from over 600 different qualifications suiting most industries needs
• The chance to further your career or progress on to University
• Flexible training that suites your learning needs, including training delivered on-the-job, off-the-job, or a combination of both
• The skills to increase your job performance, satisfaction and motivation
