APPRENTICESHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TRAINEESHIP AND AN APPRENTICESHIP? www.gooduniversitiesguide.com.au

• Apprenticeships are usually 3 or 4 years in duration, while a standard Traineeship runs for 12 to 24 months.
• An Apprenticeship involves working towards a traditional trade, such as Carpentry, while a Traineeship provides training in areas such as IT, Business, Healthcare and Finance.
• Both Traineeships and Apprenticeships allow you to gain a Nationally Recognised Qualification AND Apprenticeships and Traineeships can lead you to further Higher Education opportunities.
• School-Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships allow students to work towards an Apprenticeship or Traineeship part-time, while completing their HSC.
• Pre-Apprenticeships provide a pathway into Apprenticeships. They are completed at a lower qualification level and are shorter in duration than Apprenticeships. They provide insight into an industry or occupation before commencement of further training. Pre-Apprenticeships may provide credit towards an Apprenticeship.
• Higher Apprenticeships are a recent addition to the education landscape, providing an alternative pathway to a Professional Qualification. The program is designed for school leavers and enables them to achieve a business-based qualification, while working.    

• Electrotechnology Apprenticeships - (Careers in Data / Communication, Home Automation, Renewable Energy, Construction, Installation (e.g. lights, power, air-conditioning, fire protection, building management systems and more). With your qualification, you can start your own business or work anywhere in the world https://www.necatraining.com.au/electrical-apprentices
