The Victorian Government, through the Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions (the Department), provides oversight of training, skills and higher education in Victoria. The Government’s new Big Build Apprenticeships initiative will address two key planks of Victoria’s economic recovery – providing employment and training opportunities for more apprentices and trainees and ensuring a pipeline of skilled workers to deliver the Government’s Big Build program.
Apprenticeships Victoria will provide up to 1,500 opportunities for apprentices and trainees, ensuring that apprentices and trainees can kickstart their careers on some of Victoria’s biggest and most iconic projects.
Priority will be given to those apprentices and trainees that have been hardest hit by the global pandemic including those who have had their training suspended or cancelled, as well as women, young people and those from multicultural and Indigenous communities.
Under the Victorian Government’s Big Build Apprenticeships Program, the Department is welcoming expressions of interest to be submitted from Victorian school leavers and others who are interested in undertaking an apprenticeship through the Program.
