Hairdressing Apprenticeships/Traineeships

What is an Apprenticeship & Traineeship?

Apprenticeships and traineeships are jobs that combine work and structured training. Although they vary from one industry to another, apprenticeships and traineeships include:

paid employment under an appropriate industrial arrangement (for example, an award or enterprise agreement).
a Training Contract that is signed by both the employer and apprentice or trainee and registered with the WA Department of Education and Training (DET).
a qualification, delivered by a Registered Training Organisation, that meets the requirements of a declared apprenticeship or traineeship in WA and leads to a nationally recognised qualification.

The nominal apprenticeship training term is three years. The nominal traineeship training term is one year.
