If you're new to the world of vocational training, you might be wondering what a traineeship actually is—and how it could help you or your child take the next step.
A traineeship is a structured program that combines paid employment with formal training. It allows participants to earn while they learn, gaining hands-on experience and a nationally recognised qualification.
At NexGen, we specialise in supporting Indigenous and underrepresented communities to access these opportunities. From business administration to construction, our traineeships are designed to build real skills for real jobs.
For parents, it's a pathway to stability and purpose for your young person. For jobseekers, it's a launchpad to a long-term career.
