What is involved in an Apprenticeship or Traineeship
Apprenticeships and traineeships combine structured training, work and formal assessment leading to a nationally recognised industry qualification. School-based apprenticeships and traineeships combine paid part-time work with an industry recognised training as part of the HSC.
