A construction trade apprenticeship is a paid, hands-on way to learn a trade by working on real jobs while studying to become fully qualified. Apprentices work for an employer in the construction industry on a full time, part time or school-based contract.
We connect with senior school students, school leavers and job seekers and we work closely with employers to facilitate work trials and placements that are mutually beneficial.
Available funding programs are dependent on the course and location of delivery. Look through the information provided within the ‘Available Courses’ below for more information.
