62 PRE-APPRENTICESHIPS & APPRENTICESHIPS Holmesglen offers more than 40 pre-apprenticeships and apprenticeships across the Chadstone, Waverley and Moorabbin campuses. PRE-APPRENTICESHIPS If you re unsure about which apprenticeship to do, consider a pre-apprenticeship. These courses teach you the basic skills of an industry, so you get a feel for what the apprenticeship and working in the field will be like. Pre-apprenticeships are taught on campus and are conducted in workshops that are set up just like a worksite. This means you get hands-on skills and training with our supportive teachers who have experience in the industry. Completing a pre-apprenticeship can be a real advantage if you decide to take on the full time commitment of an apprenticeship. It can help you land an apprenticeship with a great employer and may also reduce the length of your apprenticeship. A potential boss will know that you have relevant experience, as well as all the basic skills and commitment required for a successful career in the industry. Pre-apprenticeships start at various times throughout the year and usually take between 10 to 20 weeks to complete. Applying for a Pre-apprenticeship To apply for a pre-apprenticeship, contact the department and apply direct. APPRENTICESHIPS An apprenticeship allows you to work, earn and study at the same time. For an apprenticeship, you need an employer to sponsor you as an apprentice. You will work with them and learn on the job, while getting paid. Your employer will help train you, passing on valuable knowledge and skills while you work on real jobs. Combined with on-the-job experience, you will study a nationally recognised certificate level course. Your training may happen in your workplace, or on campus in one of our specialised training facilities. Holmesglen s apprenticeships are all managed by respected teaching staff who have years of experience in the industry. Apprenticeships start at various times throughout the year and are usually three to four years in length. Applying for an Apprenticeship A training contract must be completed by the employer and apprentice within the first two weeks of employment. An Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (Apprenticeship Network) representative will visit the workplace to complete the training contract with the employer and the apprentice. Contact the Apprenticeship Network on or australianapprenticeships.gov.au for more information. On signing, you will be asked to nominate the registered training organisation (RTO). When you nominate Holmesglen, we will automatically be notified of your intention to start training. You will then be placed on the notification list and we will contact you when the next apprenticeship group is starting. 62
