Apprentices and trainees
for employers 

Future proofing Australian industries

Traineeships and apprenticeships are a valuable tool for future-proofing your industry in Australia during a crisis of limited skilled workers. They provide a pathway for businesses to train and develop their own workforce, whilst giving trainees and apprentices the exposure and experience they need for their career.   

Empowering tomorrow's workforce

Participants have the opportunity to learn from experienced workers with on-the-job training ensuring they’re well prepared for the workforce with the knowledge required. It’s also a sustainability opportunity for businesses, helping them to future proof their workforce by training new workers to replace those who are planning to depart or already left.


AWX is committed to providing facilitated learning, training and professional development opportunities to our staff, enabling them to access a wealth of career opportunities. This also empowers our business partners with highly skilled and qualified workforces.

  • Admin

    We facilitate all enrolment and administration requirements, set training plan as well as manage payroll, engage with relevant stakeholders, for example, with the Apprenticeship Centre’s and RTO’s.   

  • Training

    The training requirements for apprenticeships and traineeships vary depending on what you’ve chosen to study. Training is delivered in the workplace or at a dedicated training facility where applicable, which allows every trainee to receive a customised training plan to suit your needs as an employer. 


    Blended delivery uses a combination of campus, workplace face-to-face and online training and assessment and is typically used to support courses that have hands-on and practical elements. A trainer comes to where the trainee is working (site) and works with them through their training requirements.  


    Apprentices generally attend a campus on block release or onsite delivery method. Blended programs are designed to allow students to study the theory at work with workplace practice assessment observing hands-on tasks.  


    Traineeships have allocated theory time of a minimum of two hours per week with a supervisor, this also include a trainer visit approximately every six to eight weeks. 

  • Mentoring and support

    Each apprentice or trainee is assigned a dedicated training field officer who facilitates a smooth transition to their role and provides ongoing support for the best outcomes as they navigate their professional development. Mentors play a crucial role in helping trainees and apprentices maximise their training experience, build their confidence, foster relationships and ensuring they stay on the right track. Mentors can also help improve retention rates of trainees and apprentices and create a positive and supportive work environment.
