Traineeships

Under the banner of 'Australian Apprenticeships' a Traineeship is a Federal Government Funded program that combines valuable experiences gained through employment with the delivery of formal training, leading to the individual undertaking the program gaining a Nationally Recognised Qualification whilst working on a Part-time or Full-time basis.

A Traineeship in your chosen field offer:

* A great way to get a head start in your chosen field
* Paid work and structured training that can be on-the-job, off-the-job or a combination of both
* 'Competency based' which means you can complete your training faster if you reach the required skills level
* Existing skills and prior experience are recognised and course credit granted, potentially reducing formal training time.
Available as full-time or part-time, also available part-time in many schools.
* Lead to nationally recognised qualifications and skills which provide the basis for further education and training over the course of your working life.
* A pathway from school to work.

Traineeships may attract both State and federal Government Funding should the trainee be eligible under specific eligibility criteria set out by the Government.
