LEARN ABOUT TRAINEESHIPS (external link)

  • New Entrant Traineeships

    Are a formal training pathway used for new starters to gain practical skills and obtain a nationally recognised qualification while earning a salary.

  • Existing Worker Traineeships

    A fantastic opportunity for your existing staff to enhance their skills and knowledge with a formal VET qualification through subsidised training.

  • School Based Traineeships

    Any school student can be a School Based Trainee. There are no academic entry requirements, other than suitability for that vocation. They simply need a career goal and an employer who will give them a chance.
