Australian Apprenticeships are a great way to get a head start in your chosen career.  

Some of the benefits of becoming an apprentice are:

• you get paid to learn through a combination of on-the-job training and structured learning
• Australian Apprenticeships are ‘competency-based’ which means you can complete your training faster if you reach the required skills level
• your existing skills and prior experience are recognised and can contribute towards your course, potentially reducing formal training time
• you graduate with nationally recognised qualifications and skills which provide the basis for further education and training over the course of your working life
• Australian Apprenticeships offer a pathway from school to work
• they are available full-time or part-time and are also available part-time in many secondary schools.

WDEA has an Australian Apprenticeship Centre at the following locations in western Victoria:

• Warrnambool
• Portland
• Hamilton
• Colac.

We are contracted by the Australian Government to provide one-stop shops for those seeking to hire Australian Apprentices or to take up an Australian Apprenticeship as a career path.
