Traineeships & Apprenticeships
Traineeships
Traineeships are available in most industries and can take from 6-24 months on average to complete. The training is generally conducted on the job site and is monitored by an assessor from a Registered Training Organisation. It is a great way to combine work and study and to receive a Nationally Accredited Qualification.
One of the benefits of completing a Traineeship is that you demonstrate to a prospective employer that you have a practical understanding of the requirements of the role. In some industries it is imperative to have a qualification in order to work. For example, After School Care and Personal Care Attendant.

Apprenticeships
For the Jobseeker:
Australian Apprenticeships are a great way to develop skills for a chosen career or to retrain for a new career focus. They provide the opportunity for the jobseeker to learn and develop skills while earning money and gaining valuable work experiences.
Australian Apprenticeships combine time at work with training and can be full-time or part-time to give a nationally recognised qualification and the experience needed for sustainable employment.
Choosing a career path can be confusing; Eastwork Training recommends that jobseekers speak to an employment consultant or career councillor for assistance. Further career information can be found on the Jobguide website.
