An apprenticeship or traineeship is your pathway to becoming a qualified tradesperson or skilled worker in Australia. It combines working for an employer with study, meaning you walk away with valuable real-world skills and a formal qualification.
Considering an apprenticeship as your post school pathway? The Australian Apprenticeship has plenty of information on how to source, establish and thrive in apprenticeships.

Students can source apprenticeships through a variety of different pathways. They can approach businesses directly to ask for opportunities, watch for advertisements online or register with an apprenticeship organisation who can assist with matching you to an employer.
