Short Pre-Trade Courses

Careers Australia runs regular pre-employment and pre-apprenticeship programs across a broad range of industries and job roles. These programs are ideal for job seekers and generally combine classroom based learning activities with two weeks of supported workplace training and experience.

Graduates from our job seeker programs can expect to leave with a mulitude of industry relevant skills, real world work experience and a nationally recognised qualification, opening new doors for their future.

Alternatively, if you are looking to get into an apprenticeship then one of our short pre-apprenticeship programs might be for you. This program will  give you a taste of the industry you are thinking about working in –all with no formal commitments.

These programs are usually fully funded by Government Departments, Industry Bodies or Industry Associations for eligible participants. New programs are starting all the time, so if you can’t find what you are looking for online, contact us.
