Apprenticeships typically
take three or four years to complete and traditionally cover skilled trade
areas such as engineering and metal fabrication, automotive and mechanical,
construction and building and electrical specialisations; as well as hairdressing,
landscaping, hospitality and cookery.
An
apprenticeship is a structured program with a combination of on the job
and off the job training, where you gain hands-on skills and knowledge.
Upon successful
completion, apprentices become a qualified tradesperson.
In Western
Australia, students can receive advice from TAFE Job and Skills
Centres which are run by the Western Australian Department of Training and
Workforce Development. They are one-stop shops for careers, training and
employment advice and assistance. Services are free, and accessible to all
members of the community. The centres are located on TAFE campuses
throughout Perth and regional WA, with additional outreach locations for
regional areas.
Each of the centres
is staffed by people who can provide free professional and practical advice on
training and employment opportunities including careers advice, apprenticeship,
and training information.
