What is an apprenticeship or traineeship?
An apprenticeship or traineeship is a formal training arrangement between an employer and an employee.
Apprentices and trainees do a combination of work and recognised training to get a qualification, certificate or diploma. An apprenticeship or traineeship can be full-time, part-time or school-based and can be undertaken by anyone of working age.
An employee is classed as an apprentice or trainee if their training is through a registered state or territory training authority or done under a relevant law.
