In lockstep with the Civil Contractor Federation Victoria’s commitment to skilled workforce development for the civil construction industry, we offer a range of Apprenticeship & Traineeship Programs, designed to;
- Assist newcomers to the industry in starting their career
- Benefit employers and mentors looking to onboard apprentices for future employment
- Continually induct new workers to the industry, helping to ensure a sustainable skilled workforce for the current and future pipeline of critical infrastructure works.
- Time commitment is approximately 12-18 hours per month.
Apprenticeship is on-the-job training that involves following and studying a trade on the job, instead of in school. Civil contractors, carpenters, plumbers, builders, and many other professionals often learn their trade through apprenticeship training. The apprentice is bound by indentures or by legal agreement to serve a tradesperson. They undertake a nationally accredited, portable course of training under the supervision of their employer.
