Traineeships also offer employers a structured, employment based program with a combination of on the job and off the job training, although some are actually able to be fully delivered on the job. Traineeships nominally take between one to two years to complete although this can depend on the trainees progress through the required competencies.

Traineeships offer a broader range of vocational and occupational choices that traditional trade apprenticeships including introductory and pathway qualifications at Certificate I and II levels right up to Advanced Diploma level in some occupational areas. There are over 400 types of traineeships available in Western Australia, so there is an option to suit almost every section of your business from the office to the warehouse to the manufacturing floor, and a whole lot more 

Like apprentices, recruiting the right trainee from the outset and supporting them appropriately throughout their traineeship is the key to success.

Traineeships are also a great option if you wish to build skills with a view to articulating a trainee into a higher traineeship or an apprenticeship once the initial one is successfully completed.
