A traineeship is a vocational training program that generally lasts one
year full time or two years part-time and are available to school leavers,
youth and mature age applicants and combines on and off-the-job
training.

Off-the-job training is dependant on previous training and skills, and the
host employer's capacity to provide training in the workplace.

Traineeships are nationally accredited and provide a stepping-stone
to further employment or study opportunities by delivering a certificate qualification (from Certificate II to Certificate IV level) at completion of
the traineeship.

Traineeships – Get Paid to Learn

The aim of traineeships is:

• to have training available to everyone entering the workforce;
  
  
• to improve the long term prospects for young people entering
  non-trade occupations in the workforce by giving them access to quality “on and off” the job training in industry specific and broad
  based skills; and
  
  
• to enable industry to develop skilled staff through structured “on
  and off” the job training that has a general base but is specific to
  the particular industry.
