What are my responsibilities as a Trainee or Apprentice?

A successful Traineeship or Apprenticeship relies on the full support and participation of the Trainee or Apprentice, the employer and the Training Provider.

Obligations of the Trainee or Apprentice:

The Trainee or Apprentice must:

attend and perform work in a professional and courteous manner in accordance with the employer’s requirements
take care of workplace property and resources
work safely, not just for personal safety but for that of co-workers
respect the rights of other Trainees, Apprentices, and employees in the workplace
remember that information obtained from the employer must be kept confidential and not disclosed without approval from the employer
report any changes (employment, address, name) immediately to the Australian Apprenticeships Centre
participate in the development of theTraining Plan
make all reasonable efforts to achieve the competencies specified in the Training Plan and undertake any training and assessment required
attend training sessions or supervised workplace activities and taking advantage of learning opportunities
maintain a record of training such as a training record book
