School Based Apprenticeships

  

Smart employers are investing in new ways to attract & supply industry with future tradesmen & employable staff. 
 

Australian Industry Group Training Services (AiGTS) offer school-based apprenticeships/traineeships in Engineering, Automotive and Business.

Duration of most school based apprenticeships is approximately two years.  School-based apprentices are only paid for the productive time spent in the workplace (normally 1 day a week) or outside normal school hours with flexibility to work during school holidays.
