What is an Apprenticeship & Traineeship?
Apprenticeships and traineeships are jobs that combine work and structured training. Although they vary from one industry to another, apprenticeships and traineeships include:
- Paid employment under an appropriate industrial arrangement (for example, an award or enterprise agreement).
- A Training Contract that is signed by both the employer and apprentice or trainee and registered with the NSW Department of Education and Training (DET). The only exceptions to this rule are trainee apprentices.
- A qualification, delivered by a Registered Training Organisation that meets the requirements of a declared apprenticeship or traineeship in NSW and leads to a nationally recognised qualification.
