LINK Employment and Training :: Apprenticeships & Traineeships

Apprenticeships and traineeships are an ideal way to combine training and employment, and they lead to a nationally recognised qualification.

Anyone of working age, whether they be school leavers, or mature-age people wanting to re-enter the workforce or would just like a change in career, can apply.

You are paid while doing training that is structured to be either on-the-job, off-the-job, or a combination of both.
Because the training is competency-based, you can complete your training faster once you reach the required level of skill.
Apprenticeships can be full-time or part-time.
Australian School Based Apprenticeships are also available part-time at some schools allowing you to enter the workforce while completing your secondary education.
Your past experience and existing skills are recognised, and can potentially reduce your training time if course credits are granted.
