What is an apprenticeship or traineeship?

Apprenticeships and traineeships are jobs that combine paid work and structured training. Collectively, they are called Australian Apprenticeships.

Although they vary from one industry to another, apprenticeships and traineeships include:

• paid employment under an appropriate industrial arrangement (for example, an award or enterprise agreement)
• nationally recognised training.

The difference between an apprenticeship and a traineeship

Over 600 traineeship vocations are available in a range of areas, including Business, Hospitality, Retail, Community Health, Child Care, Financial Services and many more. Traineeships generally take between twelve to twenty four months to complete.

There are hundreds of apprenticeships available. Apprenticeships generally last between thirty six to forty eight months and cover trade areas such as Building and Construction, Horticulture, Cooking, the Automotive industry, Engineering, Manufacturing and many more.

Apprenticeship and traineeship training is:

• delivered in both the workplace and/or classroom
• customised to meet the needs of employers
• offered to existing workers (workers currently in the workforce)
• offered to school students
• easily linked to further vocational education and training and university studies.
