Tasmanian Apprenticeships are opportunities for a person of any working age to train, earn an income, and gain a nationally-recognised qualification in a wide range of commercial fields and traditional trades.

As an apprentice, you are indentured into an apprenticeship for a normal duration of four years’ full-time employment. During your apprenticeship, you work on specific units of competency as per your Training Plan with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), being TAFE Tasmania.

Tasmanian Traineeships are opportunities for a person of any working age to train, earn an income, and gain a nationally-recognised qualification in a wide range of commercial fields.

As a trainee, you are indentured into a Cert 2 traineeship for a duration of 12 months full-time and for a Cert 3 it is a 24 months full time, depending on the traineeship field. During your traineeship, you work on specific units of theory competency as per your Training Plan with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), such as a TAFE college or institute.

School-based Traineeships offer training qualification opportunities to school students. These opportunities allow students to complete their senior schooling while also completing a Certificate II in a particular field or industry.

Most commonly, students will be indentured into a school-based traineeship which has a normal duration of two years, working one day per week with occasional school-holiday work. Students will also complete theory work in the form of specific units of competency as per a Training Plan set out by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), such as a TAFE college or institute.

In the Building and Construction industry the number of women employed  in non traditional roles are still very scarce in Australia, even though companies embrace and support women eager to become qualified in these traditional male trades. Many businesses see countless value employing female apprentices to their labour force as women offer a huge range of skills and qualities.

At TasBGAS we understand that the process of choosing a career is one of the most important decisions a person will make in their life and that parents play an important role in assisting their child in making this decision.  We all want what is best for our children and we take this responsibility as their potential employer very seriously.
