• If youre looking to get a head start in the
  business world a traineeship could be for you.
  The business traineeship gives you the
  opportunity to combine paid employment with
  administration training so you can learn a new
  set of skills, get valuable workplace experience
  and pay your bills at the same time! What exactly
  is a business traineeship and what will you gain
  from it?

What is a business traineeship?

• A traineeship is very similar to an
  apprenticeship, but differs in length. While most
  apprenticeships last 3-4 years, traineeships are
  usually only a year when completed full-time. The
  business administration training itself lasts
  from 12-18 months and follows a structured
  learning plan intermixed with practical office
  experience. Successful completion of all the
  course requirements will earn you the Certificate
  III, IV or Diploma in Business  an impressive
  nationally recognised qualification.

What does it involve?

• At the core of the business traineeship is your
  assigned workplace. Traineeship providers are
  often able to offer you a range of small, medium
  and large business employers in sectors as
  diverse as marketing, construction and
  local/state government so you can match your
  interests and goals! But dont worry about being
  lost in a huge organisation. Trainees that go to
  larger companies are often able to join a
  specialist sub-section such as the legal team or
  human resources and support that specific team
  with business administration.

• Throughout your employment, trainees complete
  competency based training. This means your
  learning will be hands on and you will be
  assessed on your ability to perform tasks and
  office skills. This can include both on and off
  the job components, something that will be
  specified in your training contract.

• Your Certificate III in Business qualification
  will be delivered primarily in the workplace with
  the support of a Registered Training Organisation
  (RTO) and trainer, so you will always have access
  to the support you need to achieve your goals.

  skills including
• General administration, copying, filing, scanning
  and stationery ordering.
