An Apprenticeship usually takes three to four years to complete and involves learning a skilled trade such as plumbing and gasfitting, and painting and decorating . Apprenticeships are delivered under a competency based flexible training system in Western Australia. Workplace and off-the-job training and assessment procedures have been introduced based on the skills the apprentice should acquire over the term of the apprenticeship. To complete an Apprenticeship, you have to be employed and working with an employer — this means you get to earn while you learn. Once you’ve completed the requirements, you’ll be a qualified tradie in the industry of your choice.
Apprenticeship and Employment Services (AES) create structured and supportive paths to help people get into the workforce. They also assist businesses by managing the training and administrative aspects of employing apprentices and trainees. An AES employs apprentices and trainees, taking on the full responsibilities of an employer, including the payment of wages and management of entitlements. This arrangement allows businesses to focus on their core operations without worrying about training and administrative responsibilities. They also help apprentices or trainees find suitable host employers to gain practical, on-the-job training. These hosts provide the necessary work environment and supervision, ensuring the training received is both relevant and of high quality. AES are held to high standards, often assessed against national standards to ensure they provide ethical, consistent and quality services.
