School Based Traineeship Program
Applications for 2025-26 open 1 July 2024.
Our school-based traineeship program is a fantastic opportunity for students heading into Year 11 in 2025 who are looking to start a great career.
Over 18 months trainees gain real experience working part time in a government agency, learning valuable workplace skills and being paid while finishing Years 11 and 12.
Trainees:
- Work 2 days a week (Thursday and Friday) in a public sector agency and this counts towards their Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE)
- Complete a nationally recognised Certificate II in Government
- Receive support from a workplace supervisor to develop workplace skills for future employment.
To apply for 2025, students must:
- Be starting Year 11 in 2025
- Be permanent residents or Australian or New Zealand citizens or provide copies of Australian visas that supports the traineeship contract requirements.
Home school students are not eligible for school-based traineeships as they are not enrolled in a school and do not meet the achievement requirements of WACE through home education studies.
