What are Australian Apprenticeships?
Australian Apprenticeships are nationally recognised training programs that combine work and accredited training. ‘Australian Apprenticeships’ incorporates both apprenticeships and traineeships.
Who is eligible?
Anyone aged 16—64 can be an Australian Apprentice. Australian Apprenticeships involve working full-time or part-time and receiving training both on and off the job for between one and three years. An Australian Apprentice will usually undergo a combination of training and assessment at work and with a registered training organisation (such as MADEC), or undertake all their training in the workplace.
Australian Apprenticeships operate on the basis of a formal agreement between the employer and the Apprentice/Trainee. A ‘Training Agreement’ outlines the obligation of the employer to provide training, specifies the qualification to be achieved by the Australian Apprentice and explains their obligations to the employer.
Training Agreements are lodged with Skills Victoria in the state of Victoria and Department of Further Education, Employment, Science and Technology (DFEEST) in South Australia.
Whom do I contact?
Australian Apprenticeship Centres have been contracted by the Commonwealth to provide Australian Apprenticeship services to employers and Apprentices/Trainees throughout Australia. They are able to advise on, assess and process applications and claims for Australian Apprenticeships incentives as well as provide information on all Australian Apprenticeship matters.
