How to Apply for a Traineeship
To apply for a traineeship, research your chosen industry, find an employer, and contact an AASN. Your AASN will help you set up a training plan with your employer. You will then sign a training contract that formalises your traineeship and outlines how it will function. This should be sent back to your AASN or emailed to apprenticeshipsinfo@qld.gov.au.
