How to hire an apprentice or trainee

A traineeship covers a broader range of skills in a particular industry and lasts around one to two years. Upon completion they will receive a nationally recognised qualification in their chosen vocational area. A traineeship can improve employment prospects and provide a range of career choices. An apprenticeship is a structured program that takes three to four years and will allow a student to work towards becoming a qualified trades person. An apprenticeship combines on and off the job training.
