Apprenticeships in Melbourne
Apprenticeships and traineeships are an ideal way to combine training and employment, and they lead to a nationally recognised qualification.
Anyone of working age can apply, whether they are school leavers, mature-age people wanting to re-enter the workforce or seeking a change in career.
Benefits of an apprenticeship:• You are paid while doing training that is structured to
be either on-the-job, off-the-job, or a combination of both.
• Because the training is competency-based, you can complete your training faster once you reach the required level of skill.
• Apprenticeships can be shared between host employers.
• School-based apprenticeships are also available part-time allowing you to enter the workforce while completing your secondary education.
• Your past experience and existing skills are recognised, and can potentially reduce your training time if course credits are granted.
Pre-Apprenticeships
A pre-apprenticeship course is a stepping stone to get into the industry of your choice. It provides a blend of theory and hands on experience in a simulated workplace environment.
Completion of a pre-apprenticeship course will help to:
• Prepare you for the working environment in the selected industry.
• Give you some basic skills or improve your existing skills.
• Pave the way for the learning you will get as part of your apprenticeship.
School-based Apprenticeships
School-based apprenticeships allow you to work as a paid part-time apprentice whilst completing your secondary education at school. School-based apprenticeships are a great option if you wish to enter the workforce and remain at school. The program offers you the chance to get a head start in the industry you choose whilst completing the last two or three years of your education.
A school-based apprenticeship combines:• Part-time, practical experience in the workplace• Recognised, structured training with a registered
training organisation• Your school studies
