What is the Traineeship Program?
This exciting program provides opportunities for Macquarie University ’s Offices and Divisions to gain skilled staff by nominating one of its positions to be filled as a traineeship.
The Indigenous Traineeship Program recruits six Indigenous people with low-level or no qualifications annually and provides them with twelve months work experience and training to obtain a AQTF Certificate III in a field of interest to the University.
For Indigenous job seekers, it will be a valuable opportunity to gain entry-level employment and nationally recognised qualifications with the University.
Key features include:
- Trainees spend four days per week gaining practical experience in the Office or Division, and
- Trainees undertake a further one-day per week in study with a registered training organisation (eg. TAFE) either on-site or off-site
- Trainees have the option to take one week planned annual leave every 12-13 weeks
- Traineeships will operate for one year from January 2008 to January 2009
- On successful completion of their qualification, the trainee will have preference for interviews for continuing or fixed-term position with the University.
- Offices and Divisions gain an employee with current knowledge, skills and experience of the work in their Office/Division
