Supporting people to do an apprenticeship or traineeship
Apprenticeships Victoria supports a system that helps people at different stages of their apprenticeship or traineeship journey, by providing information and assistance to:
- people starting work
- secondary school students doing a school-based apprenticeship or traineeship
- people who want to retrain or change careers
- apprentices and trainees who need individual support, referrals and advice to continue and complete their training
- people who are underrepresented in the workforce, including women in non-traditional trades, First Peoples, people with disabilities and culturally diverse communities.
- retrenched apprentices and trainees looking to get back on track with training
Apprenticeships Victoria also supports apprentices and trainees through practical services, including the Apprentice Helpdesk, Apprenticeship Support Officers and Apprentice Employee Assistance Program.
