Traineeship Applications Now Open

Are you looking for a career change? Maybe you’re returning to the workforce and need a foot in the door?

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Traineeship Program has opened applications for the 2026 program. Hurry though, this opportunity closes on 9 November 2025.

Returning for the third year, this program provides six individuals the chance to grow professionally and personally through a 12-month paid traineeship, all whilst supporting the local community.

The Traineeship Program provides flexible employment and training opportunities for people wanting to build a career. The program is aimed at attracting:

  • School leavers
  • Adults re-entering the workforce, reskilling, or seeking a fresh start.

To be eligible, you will need to be 18+, have the right to work in Australia and not already hold a Certificate IV (or higher) in Business or a similar field.

Trainees will work with the Shire while completing a Certificate IV in Business – a nationally recognised qualification delivered by a Registered Training Organisation.
