Traineeships

Traineeships are entry-level employment and training programs aimed at providing a career start to people entering a particular occupation or industry.

They provide industry endorsed and accredited training that can be tailored to suit both trainee and employer needs.

Traineeships combine work and training, like apprenticeships, but generally over a shorter period. Trainees quickly develop practical skills to make a positive contribution to their employer's productivity.

Traineeships are a workplace based training program, usually combining on-the-job training with off-the-job school or college based study. Some traineeships can be delivered entirely on the job i.e. Office Administration, with the help of a training plan and with assessments by a qualified Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

A trainee enters into a formal training contract with their employer for the duration of the traineeship.

Traineeships are nationally recognised. When a trainee successfully completes the traineeship, they receive a nationally recognised Certificate of Proficiency and a Statement of subjects completed from the Registered Training Organisation attended.
