General traineeships

A Training WA program, funded by the Department of Training and Workforce Development.

What is a traineeship?

A traineeship is a full time or part time structured training program. During the course of a traineeship, the trainee gains practical skills with the employer and theoretical knowledge gained through formal training either on-the-job or off-the-job. Traineeships are generally available in non-trade related areas.

For Trainees

Trainees are paid while they learn. They gain work experience and have the opportunity to learn new skills in a hands-on environment. On successful completion, trainees gain a nationally recognised qualification, which can lead to further study or employment.

For Employers

Traineeships provide real benefits for businesses, as trainees contribute to a workplace with practical skills and knowledge, acquired through their training. Employers may also qualify for financial incentives from the State and Commonwealth Government.

New staff, existing staff of less than 3 months full time or 12 months part time, may be eligible to undertake a Traineeship.

Who does the training?

Sterling Business College has been involved with Traineeships for many years in the areas of Office Administration, Business, Child Care, Tourism, Marketing and Community Services. We provide off-the-job training and assess the theoretical knowledge for all on-the-job trainees and issue the qualification.
