Traineeships

What is a Traineeship?

A Traineeship is a full-time or part-time employment based training arrangement. A Trainee can be a new or existing worker. During the course of a Traineeship, the Trainee undertakes training and work based assessments to develop new skills or gain recognition for existing knowledge and skill. On successful completion, the Trainee earns a nationally recognised qualification.

Benefits of a Traineeship to your Company

As an employer of Trainees you will:
• Have staff who learn on the job and are able to apply learning directly and immediately to their job.
• Improve business through specific company related learning projects.
• Increase staff motivation and commitment through recognition of skills and improvements to knowledge.
• Improve company retention and recruitment strategies as well as career-path objectives.
• Attract income from State and Federal sources, including Payroll Tax exemptions, to cover the costs associated with training and assessment depending on eligibility criteria.
 

Who can be a Trainee?

Either a new or existing staff member can be a Trainee if they meet the following criteria:
• A new employee engaged full time for less than 3 months.
• A part time employee engaged for less than 12 months.
• Be an Australian Citizen or permanent resident.
• Work for a minimum of 20 hours per week.

If they are under 25 years of age the State Government will cover the training fees.

If the Trainee has a prior qualification or the Traineeship does not meet Commonwealth Guidelines, then the Employer Subsidy may not apply. Final eligibility is determined by an Australian Apprenticeship Centre (AAC).

ETAS Group uses the AAC to sign up Trainees and manage contracts. ETAS Group staff will facilitate links with the AAC on your behalf.
