Existing Worker Traineeships (Business/ Management Courses)
In recent years there has been a strong commitment at national and state levels to make training more flexible, relevant and responsive to the needs of employers, industry and the community. Traditionally apprenticeships and traineeships have provided a combination of work with a structured training program for school leavers and employees entering or re-entering the workforce. This policy has been revised to allow existing workers (workers currently in the workforce) who need additional training and who meet the eligibility criteria to access traineeships.

* You can choose units from our Computing courses to assist in completion of your course.
