Industry Sponsored Pre-Vocational Training
Skillswest offers pre-vocational courses funded by Industry, DET and Skillswest. These courses are in the following areas:
- Carpentry
- Bricklaying
- Electrical
- Power Linesman
These students graduate from November to January at the time when employers are seeking trained work ready apprentices.
Skillswest offers employers the option of their apprentices spending the first six to twelve months of their apprenticeship on site at Skillswest prior to going to their work site. This upskills the new apprentices and increases their productivity. Multi-skilling is part of this program.
Skillswest offers employers the option of their apprentices completing trade training under User Choice. We offer in trades as follows: Carpentry, Bricklaying, Electrical, and Linesman. In the electrical and linesman we allow them to complete three years of their TAFE component in 18 months. This enables the apprentice to work full time with their Host in 3rd and 4th years when they are most productive.
Trades Related Skills Enhancement
Skillswest offers a range of courses to enable existing workers to upskill or refresh their manual application skills making them more attractive to employers. These programs are tailored to meet your industry’s needs. Please
