Traineeships combine paid, practical workplace employment under supervision with a nationally recognised qualification through TAFE. A traineeship is like an apprenticeship but offered in non-trade-related industries.
One of the biggest bonuses for trainees is getting paid while they learn. For employers, it’s a great way to secure talent and mitigate workforce skills shortages. Additionally, taking on a trainee often attracts government funding and incentives.
Amelia, a Mornington Peninsula resident and Chisholm trainee, says: “I really like the hands-on learning, engaging with the children and putting into practice what I’ve been learning through my studies. I feel lucky to have secured a traineeship with a fantastic team of educators at Dromana Preschool who support and inspire me and make the learning really meaningful.”
For Amelia, a big plus of the traineeship is being able to earn while she builds her skills. “The benefit of a traineeship is while I’m working I’m also earning a wage and able to interact with children while learning the skills that I need for early childhood education.” She says the highlight of her traineeship has been “watching the children grow and learn every day”.
When she graduates from the course, Amelia will be ready for the job and able to transition easily into ongoing work in the early childhood education industry. She hopes to go on to further study for her Diploma of Early Childhood Education after completing her traineeship.
With more than 20 years’ experience in traineeship course delivery, Chisholm offers traineeships across IT, business and finance, early childhood education, allied health and dental assisting, hospitality, and hairdressing and barbering.
