Your Life. Your Career. Your Future.

Australian Apprenticeships is the new name for the scheme formerly known as 'New Apprenticeships'. Australian Apprenticeships still encompass all apprenticeships and traineeships. They combine time at work with training and can be full-time, part-time or school-based.

Australian Apprenticeships are the best way to combine training and employment and lead to a nationally recognised qualification.

The apprenticeships are available to anyone of working age and do not require any entry qualifications. You can be a school-leaver, re-entering the workforce or simply wishing to change careers.

Australian Apprenticeships offer:

• A great way to get a head start in a chosen career.
• Paid work and structured training that can be on the job, off the job or a combination of both.
• 'Competency based' which means you can complete your training faster if you reach the required skills level.
• Existing skills and prior experience are recognised and course credit granted, potentially reducing formal training time.
• Available as full-time or part-time, also available part-time in many schools.
• Leads to nationally recognised qualifications and skills which provide the basis for further education and training over the course of your working life.
• A pathway from school to work.
