Earn, learn, and build your career in care through a South Australian traineeship.
A traineeship is a formal training arrangement that allows you to work in your chosen field while gaining a qualification. Unlike traditional study, you’ll be employed, earning a wage, and building real skills on the job.
In South Australia, traineeships are governed by a training contract registered with the Department of Innovation and Skills. This contract involves you (the trainee), your employer, and your chosen training provider (RTO).
