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
