Apprenticeships
& traineeships

Put someone on the tools and have them qualify while they work. We deliver the off-the-job training and the assessment.

For employers

Training that works for your business

Taking on an apprentice or trainee allows you to develop a skilled employee who learns your business, your standards and the way you work. They’ll continue gaining valuable experience on the job while we work with you to schedule their off-the-job training around your business needs.

Apprenticeships aren’t always just for new employees. Existing staff can undertake an apprenticeship, building on the skills and experience they already have. Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) may reduce the training required, and employers may be eligible for government incentives.

Financial incentives available

How it works

1

Talk it through

Tell us the role and we will tell you which qualification fits and whether an existing-worker arrangement applies.

2

Sign up

The training contract is set up with an Apprenticeship Network provider. We handle our end of the paperwork.

3

Train around the job

We deliver off-the-job training at our Myaree training centre in blocks of three to five days, rather than requiring apprentices or trainees to attend one day every week. Training dates are provided well in advance, allowing employers to plan around them and keep apprentices on the job for longer, uninterrupted periods.

4

Qualification complete

On completion, your apprentice gains a nationally recognised Certificate III qualification, and your business gains a skilled, qualified employee who understands your operations and the standards you expect.

Government funded training

Both ICT30524 and ICT30120 are available with government-subsidised training through WA’s Priority Industry Training program. Eligible students can complete these qualifications at a significantly reduced cost.
