What is an apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is usually three to four years in duration and cover skilled trade areas such as construction and building, engineering and metal fabrication, automotive and mechanical, electrical and other specialisations like landscaping, hospitality and cookery and hairdressing.
You can complete the program on full-time or part-time basis or even while you are still in school (certain industries only). The structured nature of apprenticeships give you the opportunity to receive both on the job and off the job training, each with its own benefits. Upon successful completion of an apprenticeship, you will be recognised as a qualified tradesperson.
What is a traineeship?
While our apprenticeships focus more so on blue collar based trades, we have the ability to provide white collar traineeships across the nation, so for those seeking careers outside of a construction site, a traineeship with Skill Hire means your gaining real workplace experience in an industry of your choice. Our traineeships act as a vocational based pathway into a number of professional careers that expose you to real world working scenarios, quality support and earning potential throughout.
Still at school? Learn about School Based Traineeships
If you are a senior secondary student, you can undertake a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship while completing the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE). Under a school-based traineeship, you will be recognised as both a full-time student and a part-time employee earning wages for the hours worked. Generally, students will attend school 4 days a week and work for their employer one day a week. During school holidays, you will have the option of working extra hours to earn extra income.
