The
CVGT Australian Apprenticeships Centre is a One-Stop-Shop for
Apprenticeships and Traineeships.
An
apprentice combines work with on-the-job training to
learn a trade. You can employ an apprentice on a full
or part-time basis (only for some trades) and, depending
on the trade, an apprenticeship usually takes between
2.5 and 4 years to complete.
Traineeships involve full-time or part-time
work with on-the-job training. Off-the-job training
by a Registered Training Organisation (such as CVGT)
is an additional option.

a wide range of industries:
- Administrative/Clerical

You, the employer, choose your own apprentice
or trainee. The CVGT Australian Apprenticeships Centres can
assist you to recruit a prospective apprentice or trainee,
if required. Once you have made this decision, the staff
at the Australian Apprenticeships Centre will provide assistance
in advising you of the options you have in choosing
a Registered Training Provider.
CVGT is also a registered training organisation
providing training for a range of skills and/or trades.
The Registered Training Provider will assist you in
developing a training plan for on-the-job and, if required,
off-the-job training. It is the employer’s choice
in deciding what training will suit your workplace,
who will provide the training, and how the training
will be provided.
