About Apprenticeships and Traineeships
Apprenticeships and traineeships are pathways to careers in many of Australia’s leading and emerging industries. Both options provide you with the means to work and learn at the same time, while earning an income from day one.
They can be completed full time, part time or in school where young people can start training and earning a wage while completing their education.
Apprenticeships
Apprenticeships are the road to trade qualifications and careers in many industries including automotive, hairdressing, building and construction. An apprenticeship runs for 3-4 years before the apprentice graduates and can earn higher, more competitive wages.
Traineeships
Traineeships lead to qualifications in a broad range of careers in industries including agriculture, IT, tourism and health and wellbeing services. A traineeship is completed over 1-2 years before the trainee receives the relevant certificate or diploma, setting their career in motion.
