No matter what your business, investing in an apprentice or trainee can bring real rewards. Your staff will develop skills and knowledge akin to the needs and requirements of your business with access to flexible training solutions and nationally recognised qualifications.

TAFE Gippsland’s apprenticeship and traineeship programs can help you achieve your employment goals across several career paths. When you secure an apprenticeship, you have secured a unique opportunity to kick start your career and gain valuable on-the-job experience, all while gaining a nationally recognised qualification.

Apprenticeship Support Officers (ASOs) are available to provide valuable assistance to registered apprentices and their employers. These officers offer a free and confidential service, enabling apprentices to get help with any workplace, training, or personal issues that may be affecting them.

Through an SBAT, you can work towards a nationally recognised qualification by the end of Year 12 while earning an income.

SBATs are completed by students enrolled in VCE or VCE VM, where at least one day per week is designated for on-the-job training or education within the regular school week.

A TAFE Gippsland pre-apprenticeship could be the steppingstone you need to get ahead in the industry you choose. Whether you are looking for an alternative pathway into a trade career or are having trouble securing an apprenticeship, a pre-apprenticeship will prepare you for the work environment in your chosen industry, provide you with introductory skills and knowledge and give you better access to apprentice employment opportunities.
