“I wanted to have a career change; I liked the class schedule, which is 2 ½ days a week. That meant I could spend time with my family and have a job for the rest of the week. I also like the environment for learning, being that it was an easier transition from being a mother to an adult student.”
“The Diploma of Business helped me gain the knowledge I needed to achieve my personal best and to be successful. I gained acceptance into the University of my choice thanks to Careers Australia.”
It is easy to find a new apprentice or trainee to help your business grow.
Australian Apprenticeships combine time at work with structured competency based training. Apprentices and trainees can be students or school-leavers, people looking to re-enter the workforce, or mature age workers looking to upskill or change careers. They can be either full-time, part-time or school-based and can study in hundreds of different qualifications ranging from Certificate III trade certificates through to technical Advanced Diplomas.
You can find an Australian Apprentice by:
- Advertising the position in your local paper or on job search websites such as Australian Job Search.
- Contacting an Australian Apprenticeships Centre in your region.
- Contacting the Job Services Australia provider in your region.
- Contacting a Group Training Organisation.
- Recruiting someone you know or have had recommended to you.
- Offering one of your existing workers the opportunity to upgrade their skills by undertaking a traineeship!
