Traineeships
Australian Apprenticeships are a great way to get a head start in a health career or to retrain for the health career you have always wanted.
They combine time at work with training and can be full-time, part-time or school-based to give you a nationally recognised qualification and the experience you need to get the job you want.
Australian Apprenticeships are available to anyone of working age with or without a secondary school certificate or other qualification. You can be a school-leaver, re-entering the workforce or an adult worker simply wishing to change careers.
Australian Apprenticeships are available in a variety of qualifications levels in more than 50 occupations health related job roles.
Australian Apprenticeships provide a range of benefits:
- A pathway from school to work, or from one career to another.
- Leads to nationally recognised qualifications and skills which provide the basis for employment, further education and training over the course of your working life.
- Involves paid work and structured training that can be on-the-job, off-the-job or a combination of both.
- Existing skills and prior experience can be recognised and course credit granted, potentially reducing formal training.
- 'Competency based' which means you can complete your training faster if you reach the required skills level.
Australian Apprenticeships are available to existing and new employees and may attract government incentives. For more information please contact us or visit www.australianapprenticeships.gov.au
