Apprenticeships and Traineeships play a very important role in supporting the workforce of many businesses, and in helping to grow our economy. As an apprentice or trainee you combine full- or part-time work with training. It is a paid position in a business, so you learn as you earn. When you have successfully finished your apprenticeship or traineeship you will receive a nationally recognised qualification.

For further information, you can visit the Apprenticeships Australia website, or Apprenticeships Victoria - both websites cover information regarding traineeships and apprenticeships for both the employee/student and the employer.
