Government Funded Training Programs assist businesses and organisations to meet specific training needs. These programs provide training to meet new technologies and skills as well as meeting specific local skill-gaps. Training is offered in areas of literacy for workers, skills needed to enter a new career, skills needed to extend a career or for already qualified people such as tradespeople.
These are FREE training courses to eligible participants.
Traineeships (New Entrant and Existing Worker)
Traineeships are part of the Commonwealth Government's New Apprenticeships initiative.
Traineeships are entry-level employment and training programs aimed at providing a career start to people entering a particular occupation or industry.
They provide industry endorsed and accredited training that can be tailored to suit both trainee and employer needs. Traineeships combine work and training, like apprenticeships, but generally over a shorter period. Trainees quickly develop practical skills to make a positive contribution to their employer's productivity.
Traineeships are basically a workplace based training program, usually combining on-the-job training with off-the-job school or college based study. Some traineeships can be delivered entirely on the job I.e. Office Administration, with the help of a training plan and with assessments by a qualified Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
A trainee enters into a formal training contract (Indenture) with his/her employer for the duration of the traineeship.
Traineeships are nationally recognised. When a trainee successfully completes the traineeship, they receive a nationally recognised Certificate of Proficiency and a Statement of subjects completed from the Registered Training Organisation attended.
Certification is issued as proof that the trainee is competent in the skills required in a particular industry and can be utilised at a later time to:
• gain credit towards further studies
• improve chances of promotion
• access other job opportunities
• support existing work experience with a formal qualification
Financial incentives are available to employers to assist them when putting employers through a traineeship.
