Australian Apprenticeships
Thinking about a career? Think about Australian Apprenticeships.
Australian Apprenticeships mean flexible training, experience and a nationally recognised qualification.
Australian Apprenticeships are a stepping stone to further education and training and a great way to get a head start in the career you want. Training is available in more than 500 occupations and in a wide range of industries.
Australian Apprenticeships give you the skills and experience to kick-start your career, with a valuable qualification recognised by employers throughout Australia.
Australian Apprenticeships are flexible. Training can be on-the-job, off-the-job, or a combination of both. Off-the-job training is provided by TAFE colleges, business colleges or other approved training organisations.
One of the many advantages of Austrlaian Apprenticeships is that you earn a wage as you train. Your training wage will depend on the industry you are working, the type of Australian Apprenticeship and the level of schooling and training you have completed.
School Based Australian Apprenticeships
You may be able to start an Australian Apprenticeship while still at school. Your careers adviser and teachers will know if you are able to do an Australian Apprenticeship while you are studying. They can also assist you with your Australian Apprenticeship by helping you to choose the most suitable subjects.
School-based Australian Apprenticeships provide students with an opportunity to gain a vocational education and training (VET) qualification while pursuing their senior secondary certificate.
Just like all Australian Apprenticeships, School-based Australian Apprenticeships are also flexible through on the job training, off the job training or a combination of both and because the training has been developed by industry for industry, the Australian Apprentice is getting the right skills for the employer and the right skills for their future.
An employer who takes on a School-based Australian Apprentice can benefit from the practical skills and the latest industry knowledge their young employee acquires through training.
Both the employer and the Australian Apprentice are required to sign a training agreement which links to an industrial award or agreement with wages usually being paid for the work hours the Australian Apprentice spends in the workplace.
Australian Apprenticeships are increasingly the career option for students in Year 11 and Year 12 with the students requiring the full support of their school.
