Choosing the right apprenticeship or traineeship is simply a matter of choosing the type of training that best suits your business.
All apprentices and trainees enter into a training contract. Under the training contract, the employer, apprentice and registered training organisation (RTO) work out a training plan for the apprenticeship / traineeship. Employment may be full-time or part-time. School-based students can start an apprenticeship or traineeship while still at school working one or two days per week (School-Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships).
Apprenticeships and traineeships are available at the following levels:
Australian Quality Framework (AQF) level 2
advanced, trade and technician AQF level 3 and 4
diploma and advanced diploma AQF level 5 and 6.
Apprenticeships and traineeships are available across all industries including, but not limited to, community services, agriculture, business, construction, automotive, engineering and manufacturing.
More information is available from Australian Apprenticeships NT. You can also search the NT Apprenticeships and Traineeships Database.
More information on specific units of competency contained in training packages is available at the training.gov.au (TGA).
