How to Get an Apprenticeship
Ready to kickstart your career and earn while you learn? An apprenticeship is an incredible pathway to gaining practical skills, industry experience, and a nationally recognised qualification!
To secure your dream apprenticeship, here's what you'll need to do:
- Explore Your Interests: Think about what you're passionate about and what kind of work excites you. Research different trades and industries to find the best fit.
- Prepare Your Resume: Highlight any relevant skills, work experience (even volunteering!), and showcase your dedication and enthusiasm.
- Understand the Commitment: Apprenticeships are a commitment, typically lasting 3-4 years, combining on-the-job training with formal study.
- Develop Key Skills: Employers look for initiative, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn. Strong communication and teamwork skills are also highly valued.
- Ace the Interview: Practice common interview questions, prepare a few questions to ask your potential employer, and always arrive on time with a positive attitude.
- Connect with the Right People: Your school's VET coordinator or career counsellor can offer invaluable guidance and connections.
