Traineeships

Introduction

What is a Traineeship?

A traineeship is a structured training and employment program that offers trainees the opportunity to train on and/or off-the-job, work and earn money in a (non-trade) area of interest.

Traineeships are usually for a nominal duration of twelve months or more and can be available on a part-time or full-time basis. On completion of a traineeship, trainees receive a nationally recognised certificate qualification.

Duration

A Traineeship is usually for a nominal period of 12 months if full time or 18 months if part time. Depending on the progress of the trainee, the Traineeship can be completed in 6 months (full time) or 9 months (part time).

• Show a genuine interest and initiative in the field of work
• Good communication skills
• Ability to work in a team environment
• Willing to work and be fit enough to conduct the tasks required of the job
