Apprenticeships are a great way to combine structured training and paid employment. You can begin at any time, or commence while you are still at school in Year 11/12. You don’t need a secondary school certificate to start an apprenticeship, although this is highly regarded by most employers.
As an apprentice you have the opportunity to earn an income while you are learning your trade. You will combine full-time work with either part-time, workplace based or release study, depending on your employer’s needs. When you finish your apprenticeship, you will have a nationally recognised qualification that can take you anywhere in Australia and in many other countries as well.
Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (AASN)AASNs are contracted by the government to support and facilitate the apprenticeship process for employers and individuals. AASNs can also help you with the recruitment process and provide mentoring and career advice.
Visit australianapprenticeships.gov.au for more information or call them on 13 38 73.
Step 1: Preparation and researchFigure out what trade you are interested in, do research on job opportunities and write or update your resume. A pre-apprenticeship is a great way to get a taste of a trade and see if you would like to continue with.
Step 2: Job huntingStart applying for jobs through networking with people you know, online or via Job Services Australia providers.
Step 3: Sign upOnce you’ve found an employer, you both must contact an Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (AASN) provider to organise signing a training apprenticeship contract. Select Bendigo TAFE as your preferred training provider to get started. If you are eligible for a Health Care Card, make sure you apply for one prior to enrolling so you are eligible for concession fees.
