Traineeships
A traineeship is a job that combines paid employment with the structured training required to gain a non-trade qualification.
On average it takes one to two years to complete and provide recognised training for a specific industry.
Along with this acquired skill, a traineeship also demonstrates a commitment to working in the industry.
Traineeships are open to anyone between the ages of 15 and 65 who has not already completed two certificate II or a certificate III or higher
Popular traineeship industries on offer through GAGAL include hospitality, aged care, business administration, civil construction, child care, retail, engineering production, clothing production, horticulture, warehousing, information technology and library.
It is preferred that applicants have a minimum education level of Year 10 but this is not essential (some traineeships will have certain education requirements).
GAGAL offers extensive support for all of our trainees including on-site visits every 6 to 10 weeks.
GAGAL is the legal employer of our trainees and therefore it is our responsibility to pay correct award wages, any on-site additions, superannuation, annual leave, leave loading, workers compensation and training costs.
For more information on traineeships in general, please visit the Queensland Government’s Department of Education and Training website: www.det.qld.gov.au

Our GAGAL officers will be able to assist applicants in finding a suitable industry and a traineeship that is best for them. We also recommend that you have a current resume with school results available when applying.
