What is a traineeship?

The following are some simple facts about traineeships:

• Traineeships combine work with training
• Traineeships vary in length from 12 months to four years
• Existing employees can undertake a traineeship
• Traineeships can be offered to full-time or part-time employees
• Traineeships require trainees to enter into a training contract with the employer
• Employers work with a training provider to draw up the training plan
• Training takes place in the workplace and with the training provider

We will work with both the employer and the trainee throughout the traineeship in assisting with the development of a suitable training plan, deliver the training, assess the achievement of skills and issue the qualification upon successful completion of the traineeship. The Sunshine Coast Business Academy has been providing consultancy services and training to employers and trainees since 1989.

The Sunshine Coast Business Academy provides employers and employees the opportunity of increasing current skill levels as required in the workplace, through undertaking professional development activities which can relate directly to the workplace. These activities are completed through a traineeship and are especially popular for existing employees who not only gain a nationally recognised qualification, but additional skills relevant to their workplace. Trainees can also apply for formal recognition for the experience and skills they already possess, and build on those skills, making the learning experience challenging and relevant.
