Australian Apprenticeships are an excellent first choice career option for young people and provide a real alternative to University. Apprenticeship programs are now as rewarding as higher education, both financially and professionally.
When undertaking an Australian Apprenticeship, structured training is combined with practical work experience providing a strong foundation for career progression. Qualifications achieved from an Australian Apprenticeship are nationally recognised and range from Certificate II to Diploma and Advanced Diploma.
In addition to the benefits of receiving a qualification and real employment experience, Australian Apprentices are also paid while training.
