What is a Traineeship?

A traineeship is a great opportunity to earn as you learn! It is a training agreement between an employer and an employee during which the trainee learns the skills needed for a particular occupation or trade, whilst earning a wage. It combines time at work with training and can be completed full-time, part-time or while you are still at school.

At the end of the traineeship the trainee will have achieved a nationally recognised qualification. The employer will have an upskilled and valuable employee as well as potentially receiving government incentives from the Federal Government.

Traineeships are available to anyone of working age regardless of their level of education. You can be a school-leaver, re-entering the workforce or an adult worker simply wishing to change careers.

What is involved in establishing a Traineeship?

• The trainee enters into a traineeship agreement with the employer for the period determined by the qualification level being studied.
• As the Registered Training Organisation, the College will provide the training in the appropriate qualification to the trainee using one of the Training Delivery Options set out below.
• The Traineeship Agreement is organised through an Apprenticeship Centre who can advise on any other benefits or incentives that are available to trainees and employers.

How long does a Traineeship take to complete?

A traineeship lasts one to two years depending upon the level of the qualification being completed.
