An apprenticeship or traineeship is a training program where you can learn a trade while working in your chosen industry.
To commence an apprenticeship, you'll need to find an employer and sign a training.
An apprenticeship can allow Year 11 and 12 students to commence their apprenticeship or traineeship while at school.
You can also do a pre-apprenticeship course (Certificate II), which gives you basic skills in your interest area and readies you for an apprenticeship.
It can take up to six months and you do not need to be employed.
