What are Traineeships / Apprenticeships?

An Apprenticeship / Traineeship is an opportunity for someone to work full-time or part-time whilst undertaking structured training to achieve a Nationally Recognised Qualification.

An Apprenticeship is an industry or trade based qualification where the apprentice becomes a qualified tradesperson.  Apprenticeships usually take three to four years to complete

A Traineeship is office based qualifications where the trainee is trained in a vocational area like office administration.  Traineeships vary in length from twelve months to three years.

At the beginning of the Apprenticeship / Traineeship, the Apprentice / Trainee and Employer will sign a Training Contract that is registered with the Queensland Department of Employment & Training.  By signing this contract the Apprentice / Trainee and Employer agree to uphold certain Roles & Responsibilities to be followed under this program.  A structured Training Plan will be developed with all parties for the Apprentice / Trainee.
