Traineeship Information for Employers in Perth

What is a Traineeship?

  • Traineeships are part of the Australian Government’s Australian Apprenticeships Initiative.
  • On successful completion of Nationwide Training’s traineeship, the learner will receive a nationally recognised qualification.
  • Training is conducted on and off the job to ensure workplace and industry practices are covered and assessed.
  • Traineeships offer employers a convenient and cost-effective means of training and retaining their staff.
  • Nationwide Training offers a range of traineeships, including Supply Chain Operations and Driving Operations for truck and bus drivers.

What are the benefits of a traineeship?

  • Generous government incentives may be available for eligible employees.
  • Convenient and flexible blended training and assessment delivered at your workplace and classroom-based at one of our training centres.*
  • Training can be customised to your organisational needs.
  • Improved productivity, morale and efficiency in your workplace.
  • Benefit from our trainers’ extensive industry experience.

* Most traineeship units are delivered on your site. It may be necessary for employees to attend off-site training to complete units such as Forklift, CoR, Load Restraint, Dangerous Goods and Manual Handling. This is only necessary if these units are selected as part of the traineeship.

What type of employees are eligible to participate?

Any employee can participate in a traineeship. However, not all employees are eligible for government incentives and funding.

For the purposes of participating in a traineeship, employees can be classified as follows:

  • New entrants – have been employed for less than 3 months full-time or 12 months part-time/casual (most likely eligible for funding and incentives).
  • Existing workers – have been employed for longer than 3 months full-time or 12 months part-time/casual (unlikely to be eligible for funding and incentives).

If a learner is not eligible for government incentives or subsidies, but you wish to put them through the traineeship program, we can arrange this for you on a fee-for-service basis.

Please contact us to find out more.

What government incentives are available?

Employer cash incentives may be available for new workers registered as trainees. Enquiries can be made to Nationwide Training, your Australian Apprenticeship Support Network provider, or the Apprenticeship Office.

Employers may be eligible for incentives from both the federal and state governments of up to $8,250.00.

What are my responsibilities as an employer?

  • Allowing the learner to be available for regular training and assessment activities that are conducted in the workplace and at Nationwide Training.
  • Ensuring the learner receives appropriate support in the work environment to develop the knowledge and skills required in the training program.
  • Providing appropriate facilities, including access to the workplace and equipment, to train the learner.
  • Allowing the learner to attend off-site training as required. For example, if forklift or dangerous goods units are chosen as part of the traineeship.
