Apprenticeships and traineeships

Apprenticeships and traineeships combine training with working in a real job, with a real boss, for a real wage. Apprentices and trainees work towards the completion of a nationally recognised qualification while learning valuable skills at work and under the guidance of a training organisation.


Becoming an apprentice or trainee could be the best thing you ever do. You'll be trained and mentored all the way. You'll earn a wage and work towards a qualification that could really take you places.

How to participate in Apprenticeships/Traineeships 

Employer/Trainee

  1. Employer and apprentice/trainee discuss and analyse the workforce skill gaps.

  2. Employer and apprentice/trainee choose their preferred Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (AASN) provider, and choose a Supervising Registered Training Organisation (SRTO). 

  3. Apprentice/trainee perform their duties as explained in Training Plan (TP).

  4. Employer makes sure sufficient supervisions are in place to assist apprentice/trainee's on-the-job training.
