Why should I do an Australian Apprenticeship and how can I find one?

It is the start of the school year for 2022 and you are not keen on returning? Finished school last year and not sure what to do now? An Australian Apprenticeship could be the answer. Australia is currently experiencing some of the highest vacancy rates for Australian Apprenticeships, there has never been a better time to find an apprenticeship or traineeship opportunity so easily.

The abundance of job vacancies could be due to the large amount of skill shortages in Australia being occupations that require apprenticeship or traineeship qualifications. Entering a skill that has a national shortage can ensure a stable and successful career, as there is a high demand for those skills. We recommend going through the National Skills Shortage list for some career ideas!

An Australian Apprenticeship is also a fantastic way to a gain a nationally recognised qualification whilst working in your chosen field. There are myths and misconceptions about apprenticeships that lead people to pursuing university degrees, whereas an apprenticeship might be the ideal pathway if you like practical applications of what you’re studying. On completion of an Australian Apprenticeship, you will have gained valuable work experience, be entitled to fully qualified workers pay rates and have earned an income throughout your studies.
