Traineeship

So what is the difference between apprenticeships and traineeships?

The difference between a traineeship and an apprenticeship is that a traineeship can be either full-time or part-time, is usually for around 12 months on average and is generally in a non-trade related area. In contrast, an apprenticeship usually last for three to four years, is generally full-time and is usually in a trade related area.

Traineeships

Traineeships provide an opportunity to train and earn an income at the same time whilst working towards a nationally recognised qualification. They include:

  • paid employment under an appropriate industrial arrangement (for example, an award or enterprise agreement)
