Who can do an apprenticeship or traineeship? 

Anyone! Whether you’re about to complete secondary school or you’re stuck in what feels like a dead-end job, an apprenticeship or traineeship could be the next step to a fulfilling career. Whichever field you choose, you’ll get formal training and hands-on experience as you earn a nationally recognised qualification in a field in need of skilled workers. Oh, and did we mention you get paid from day one of your placement?

Apprenticeships and traineeships are available in more than 300 occupations, and 7 of the 10 fastest-growing jobs in Australia are accessible via apprenticeship or traineeship pathways.

The difference between an apprenticeship or traineeship

There are a lot of different exciting training options when it comes to getting a job in Australia. An apprenticeship and traineeship can both be good opportunities for someone looking to get into their chosen field, but they're not quite the same thing.

“The support and guidance I received throughout my traineeship with WPC Group let me excel and achieve my goals no matter how difficult they seemed at the time. My mentor supported me through challenges and allowed me to achieve the best possible outcomes. I know I wouldn’t be in the role I am in today without their support.”
