What is a Traineeship?
Traineeships are jobs that combine work and structured training. Although they vary from one industry to another. 

Traineeships include:

• Employees participating in Traineeships earning while they learn. Paid employment under an appropriate industrial arrangement (for example, an award or enterprise agreement) which can be delivered both on and off the job.
• 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. The length of a Traineeship can vary from 12 months to approx. 3 years

On most occasions this fee is agreed to be paid by the Employer.
