Traineeships in construction have always been around. They are nothing new! Marketing apprentices to the construction industry has always been the primary pathway to training our future tradesmen and women and they will continue to play an important part in training development. However, with 39% of all trade apprentices withdrawing in the first year of their apprenticeship, making sure you have the right candidate for the role is imperative. This is why we are encouraging employers to consider the 12-month traineeship as a solid foundation to build from.
An apprenticeship focuses on the skills of a particular trade area and is usually completed over a period of 3-4 years whilst attending off the job ‘block training’ at a training organisation during employment. The apprentice can only be employed in that trade field.
Often suited to school leavers or mature age learners, a traineeship equally focuses on their skills but is completed over a 12-month period (not as big of a commitment) whilst being trained predominantly on the job. Traineeships in construction are a lot more versatile and can be employed across various trade fields, which provides flexibility to the trainee and the employer during the early stages of the learner’s development.
Usually, employers source candidates via job advertising or by contacting their local Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (AASN). Alternatively, give us a call as we may be able to put you in touch with candidates that are seeking employment.
As an employer of apprentices, some of your responsibilities include:
No. All training providers that offer government funded training play by the same set of rules. This means there will be little variation in cost between providers.
Yes! There could be upward of $35,000 available to an employer. Your AASN will be able to give you an accurate assessment.
Yes. If the apprentice has successfully completed any previous construction training that is relevant to their apprenticeship it can be credited towards their qualification. Trade Academy WA simply need a USI transcript from the learner’s portal, or a statement of attainment/transcript issued by their previous training provider.
