Personalised and Professional Education and Training (RTO Code 31424)
An Australian Government Traineeship Program is a structured training and paid employment arrangement that involves a contract between an employer, the government and the trainee. Traineeships are legal commitments that vary in length depending on course and employment status, and AIRC can only deliver these programs in Queensland and Tasmania.
Trainees are employed under a government-approved training agreement, which is a legal commitment. You will be required to sign a training agreement that states that you will fulfill all the things the contract requires in exactly the same way as you would expect your employer/employee to fulfill all of their commitments. For trainees under 18 years of age, a parent or guardian is also a party to the contract.
Employers of trainees are required to allow time from normal day-to-day tasks to participate in set training sessions and course work. The mentor may choose this time to discuss the theoretical basis of a job task, use the session to discuss a specific case, or to work through activities and case studies from study guides. The trainees “skills record log” (also known as a Training Record) and “workplace monitoring form” will assist in guiding off the job training sessions. State Training Authorities may visit the workplace of a trainee to ensure that the terms of the contract are being agreed to and that the training organisation, Employer and Trainee are adhering to the training plan as set out by the training organisation.
At this time we are unable to deliver state funded traineeships in New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, ACT and Northern Territory.
Trainees can only receive one government contribution for a User Choice funded qualification at any single point in time, i.e. a student is not funded to undertake two traineeships at the same time.
In addition trainees, including SATs, can only receive a maximum of two government funding contributions under the current User Choice program. There are other rules specifically related to funding for SATs, so students and their parents/guardians should discuss their intentions with their school’s vocational education and training coordinator prior to signing up as a SAT. Australian Apprenticeship Support Network providers are another good source of information. For further information go to: https://desbt.qld.gov.au/training/apprentices
