Traineeships Benefit Employers and Employees

Gaining a qualification doesn’t necessarily mean you need to head to university or enrol in a college program. Traineeships benefit employers and employees.

Sounds great right? Well here’s a whole list of benefits as to why a traineeship might suit you:

• Earn an income while you study

  A traineeship allows you to work anywhere around Australia and to get paid for learning valuable industry-specific skills.

• Flexibility to structure the study to suit you

  Most traineeships can be undertaken on both a full-time and part-time basis and generally range anywhere from six months to three years to complete.

• You will come out qualiified

  Upon completion, you’ll gain qualifications recognised Australia-wide from a Certificate II up to an Advanced Diploma.

• A good mix of formal training and practical learning

  You won’t just be stuck in a classroom or lecture theatre throughout the entire period of your traineeship, as the program combines a mix of formal theoretical learning and practical training in the workplace.

• Appeal to future employees

  Having a qualification and experience within a particular industry makes you an appealing candidate for future positions you may apply for following your traineeship.

• You will have the same right as all employees

  Whether you’re in a traineeship program or not, all employees have the same rights in the workplace.

A traineeship can also be of value to the employer in the following ways:

• Customise the training to suit the business – Employers can train staff members from within their work environment in areas wherever skills are required, right up to an Advanced Diploma level
• Choose the training company that works for you – An employer can select the training organisation, location and employment basis depending on the requirements
• Increase employer satisfaction – Supervisors within a business often find they’ve increased the drive, satisfaction and confidence in training staff within their own workplace
• Gain motivated staff members – Often trainees are more motivated and invested in their position throughout the traineeship as they gain new skills and put their knowledge into practice
