Traineeship

How does a traineeship work? 

Traineeships typically last for one year and are made up of two main forms of training: classroom-based learning opportunities and on-the-job training. You’ll receive your Certificate from a nationally recognised program. 

Types of traineeships: 

  • New Entrant Traineeships 
  • Existing Worker Traineeships 
  • Employee-based Traineeships

What you need to know before contacting STC?

  • First, you must qualify for the traineeship program by finding an employer who is willing to hire you.   
  • After that, the employer and trainee will sign a ‘training contract’, which must be approved by the AASN and the State/Territories Training Authority.  
  • Then you should choose STC as your training provider.  
  • Upon receiving the proposed training plan, STC will evaluate it based on the trainer’s availability and location of the workplace. 

Perks for Employees

  • Employees are provided structured learning options that are accredited by the Nationally Accredited Training Program.   
  • Certifications can be applied as credits towards further training
  • Paid employment under an industrial arrangement
