Apprenticeships & Traineeships
Overview
Our Apprenticeships and Traineeships offer a great way to be paid for work, learn and earn a qualification at the same time.
Apprenticeships and Traineeships are an excellent way to combine training with work, enabling you to have a job while you complete training towards a nationally recognised qualification. They are available to anyone of working age. You can do an Apprenticeship or Traineeship if you are a school-leaver, re-entering the workforce or as an adult or mature-aged person wishing to change careers. When you finish your Apprenticeship or Traineeship you will have a nationally recognised qualification that’s held in high regard in many overseas countries as well.
Apprenticeships typically take three or four years to complete and traditionally covers skilled trade areas such as engineering and metal fabrication however in some states the PMB30121 Certificate III in Polymer Processing is considered an Apprenticeship.
