Apprentice Services

An Australian apprenticeship is a great way to get started in your dream career. At Apprenticeships Victoria (AV), we are here to make the process as easy and informative as possible. Our professional, helpful staff know about every type of apprenticeship and traineeship in Australia, and can provide you with information on each one. The first step in any Australian Apprenticeship is to find an employer who is prepared to sign you on as their apprentice. We encourage individuals to actively seek an employer who can offer them employment consistent with their interests. In some cases AV may also be able to assist you to find an employer. Once you have an employer, give us a call and we will take care of the rest.
