Do you want to earn money, gain independence and learn practical skills in a real workplace?
You can start working now through an apprenticeship. You’ll get hands on experience while studying a nationally recognised qualification. All you need to do is find an employer to take you on.
Here are some places to start:
- Check job search sites
- Search this register of employers who are pre-approved to hire apprentices
- Talk to businesses in your area
- Get in touch with a Group Training Organisation - they'll employ you and place you with a host business.
Vocational qualifications are all about getting you ready for the job you want.
You can choose the training provider and study mode that suits you best, and learn the skills you need to for your career.
If you want to study a course that will give you skills employers need, you may be able to pay reduced course fees.
If your training is subsidised, the South Australian Government pays part of your course fees for you. The money goes straight to your training provider, so you can focus on your training.
The course search will tell you if the course you're interested is subsidised.
Training providers will confirm whether or not you can access subsidised training, but we've put together an eligibility checker to give you an idea of what to expect.
