HOW TRAINEESHIPS WORK

Trainees sign a formal training contract with their employer, an Australian Apprenticeship Centre and a Registered Training Organisation such as AMPT Services

AMPT Services provide the following services:

• Work with the employer and trainee to develop a suitable Training Plan, including the appropriate units and negotiating times and methods of delivery

• Assess and, if appropriate, recognise trainees existing skills against the selected units. Deliver and assess training and/or enter into a partnering agreement with the Employer to allow qualified site trainers and assessors to perform this task

• Provide mentoring and support to the trainee and employer throughout the process

• Issue nationally recognised qualifications on successful completion of all training and assessment

AMPT Services can deliver training and assessment on the job at the employers workplace.  Training already completed prior to registration on the traineeship program will be recognised, meaning that units already completed will be credited and the trainee will not have to repeat those units.  Previous workplace learning can also be recognised in a process known as Recognition of Prior Learning.

JOBS AND SKILLS WA

Jobs and Skills WA is the way the State Government, through the Department, prioritises it's investment in training to focus on courses that equip people to take up jobs that are, or will be in high demand.

As the WA economy grows and diversifies, the outlook for jobs is constantly changing. Priorities include apprenticeships, eligible traineeships and priority industy qualifications. 

The State Government has implemented Job and Skills WA to ensure that people gain skills that lead to employment in areas required by industry.

To do this, Job and Skills WA provides a guaranteed, subsidised training place for eligible students enrolled in courses that are deemed State Priority qualifications, where a training place is available.

All Jobs and Skills WA courses are heavily subsidised by the Government of Western Australia
