They learn skills and knowledge required for their chosen trade, profession or industry and attend a Registered Training Organisation to complete a Certificate III over the course of their apprenticeship.
What is a Traineeship?
Trainees learn practical skills, work experience and industry-specific knowledge under the supervision of experienced professionals in a wide range of industries and roles (e.g., hospitality, office administration, information technology) over a 1-2 year period.
