Considering an apprenticeship
Becoming an apprentice is a great way to turn a specific interest or talent that you have into a full-time job.
Your employer would be responsible for registering you as an apprentice.
Your responsibilities
As an apprentice you'll have certain responsibilities including:
-
attending training sessions at TAFE
-
completing all assignments and other assessments set by TAFE
-
maintaining a record book or work evidence guide
-
obeying all instructions given by your employer in the workplace
-
following the training plan to ensure you obtain your qualifications.
Probationary period
If you accept an apprenticeship, you'll be put on a three-month probation period which:
-
gives time for both you and your employer to determine your suitability to the trade
-
allows your employer to assess you on the job
-
lets your employer review your performance during the probation period.
