Trainee Talent for Your Business
In the current employment market competition for candidates is high. Investing in a business trainee is a great strategic move for your business.
The business traineeship pathway is a 12-month program designed to attract and engage those new to the workforce in an administrative or support role. Trainees get tailored, on-the-job training that equips them with relevant, real-world skills.
The dual approach of practical and theoretical learning ensures that your employee can apply their knowledge right away, thereby enhancing their capability and confidence in the role. Trainees complete the nationally recognised BSB30120 Certificate III in Business over 12 months while actively contributing as a team member.
Training is delivered in a blended format incorporating online course materials, resources and support paired with workplace-based assessments. The blended format is designed to enable learners to be fully immersed in the ‘rhythm’ of your workplace environment to establish relationships and produce tangible outputs.
Traineeships Versus Apprenticeships
Traineeships and apprenticeships are often talked about in the same way under the title of Australian Apprenticeships. The structure of an apprenticeship is very similar to that of a traineeship.
The most common difference is that apprenticeships are usually longer – up to four or five years – while a traineeship is usually 12 months. Apprenticeships are typically focused on technical trade skills (like an electrician or carpenter) while traineeships tend to focus on wider job skills in support and administration across healthcare, business, IT, HR, marketing, retail, hospitality and many more industries.
Sourcing Trainee Talent
MiTraining’s parent company MIGAS Apprentices & Trainees specialises in recruiting and managing your trainee workforce from commencement through to completion. Business trainee candidates are selected to match your brief and can include secondary school students completing the traineeship in a part-time capacity. If you already have an employee on board, MIGAS can also convert them to a business traineeship pathway.
A Talent Pipeline for Succession
Employers use traineeships to attract and retain talent in this tight job market. The combination of on-the-job effort and formal learning offered by the traineeship model drives innovation, critical thinking, and is a competitive advantage for organisations looking to secure their talent pipeline and a clear development pathway.
