What is an apprenticeship or traineeship?
Whether you’re about to graduate secondary school or you’re considering a total career change after 20 years, choosing an apprenticeship or a traineeship lets you learn the skills top employers need while making money at the same time.
Whichever you choose, you’ll divide your time between formal training and practical on-the-job experience, all while earning a nationally recognised qualification in a field that Australia needs workers in today and the future.
Industries that need apprentices and trainees today:
Cyber Security
Cloud Data Engineering
IoT and Big Data
Graphic Design
Food Science Technology
Robotics
Medical Device Design
Fusion Welding
And many more…

Graduate with real world work experience that sets you apart
"Next Gen Jobs gave me the opportunity to start my career with a great employer. It is the best thing that has happened to me professionally. It is definitely beneficial getting hands-on experience while studying. And I'm now working full-time where I undertook my traineeship in IT."
Caleb Roy
Beyond graduation
There’s so many benefits to choosing an apprenticeship or traineeship—and they don’t end when you finish your program.
As a NextGen Jobs grad, you have no student debt, a clearly defined career path, and practical employment history and experience that makes you stand out in the marketplace. Oh, and an average salary of $70,000, with the expectation to earn $300,000 more during your career than non-apprenticed/trained workers!
Let us help you get to where you want to go
While you get hands-on real world experience with an industry-leading organisation from day one, NextGen Jobs is your permanent employer throughout your program. It’s our job to make sure there are positions available for you, pay your wages, and ensure you have the mentoring you need to succeed. And if your traineeship or apprenticeship ends early, we’ll find you a new employer, so there’s no disruption to your training.
Why choose NextGen Jobs?
NextGen Jobs is focused on training people like you for the jobs that will be coming next month, next year, and in 10 years’ time. Unlike other GTOs, we’re focused solely on emerging occupations and industries that are seeing high growth in Australia. This isn’t about a job for now, it’s about equipping you for the careers of tomorrow.
These are just some of the organisations that we’ve placed apprentices and trainees with:
