There has never been a better time for anyone to take up an apprenticeship or traineeship. While most apprentices and trainees are recent school leavers, there are lots of options for people of all ages.
Students can now start their training before leaving school in range of programs and mature age people are taking up apprenticeships and traineeships. Some are experienced workers who want a qualification, others have no experience and want to start a new career, and some want to train part-time instead of full time.
If you are in Year 11 or 12 there are lots of options to start training while you are still at school.
