Apprentices & Trainees
As an apprentice, you will usually be allocated one day per week, or a block release period, where you will attend your Registered Training Organisation (RTO) for training.
For traineeships, you are typically allocated 3 hours per week to complete your studies at work. Scheduling this can be discussed with your BGSA Field Officer and your Host Supervisor.
Yes, apprenticeships and traineeships are paid employment positions. As a BGSA employee, we’ll pay you weekly based on the relevant industry Award. Some of our Host Employers also agree to pay Apprentices and Trainees at above-Award rates.
Apprenticeships are typically 4 years, while Traineeships are generally 1-2 years, depending on the qualification. There is also the potential for early completion if you complete your formal training early.
