Build real skills, gain valuable workplace experience and earn a nationally recognised qualification, all while working in a job you love
A traineeship gives you the opportunity to build practical skills, gain valuable workplace experience and achieve a nationally recognised qualification, all while earning an income. Whether you’re starting a new job, changing careers or your employer has suggested a traineeship, it’s a practical way to develop your skills while you work.
At UNE Partnerships, you’ll be supported by an experienced trainer who understands your industry and works with you throughout your qualification, helping you build the confidence and skills to succeed in your role.
Eligible traineeships may be government subsidised. In many cases, employers choose to cover any remaining student contribution fee. Funding, eligibility and available qualifications vary by state. Course availability and traineeship funding can vary by state. The links below provide the most up-to-date information on available qualifications, eligibility, and subsidies.

Training is designed to fit around your work commitments, with flexible online learning and practical activities linked to your role. Your trainer will help you plan your learning so you can balance work and study.
Like any qualification, a traineeship requires commitment. You’ll need to complete your learning and assessments, apply your new skills in the workplace, communicate with your trainer and stay engaged throughout the program. The more you put into your traineeship, the more you’ll get out of it.
When you successfully complete your traineeship, you’ll receive a nationally recognised qualification along with valuable workplace experience and practical skills that can help you progress in your current role, apply for new opportunities or continue your studies.
Most learning is completed online and integrated with your workplace, allowing you to build your skills while continuing to work. Your trainer will guide you through the learning and assessment requirements.
You don’t need experience. You don’t need to have everything planned.
You just need the willingness to learn and grow.
