What is a traineeship?

A traineeship is a training program that offers employment to people willing to learn on the job in a structured way. Similar to an apprenticeship, a traineeship provides you with vital practical experience. 

Our traineeships will develop your industry skills and help to enhance your industry knowledge to enable you to take the next step in your career.

Delivered at the workplace or on campus, a Swinburne traineeship combines formal training with employment to help you make the right move.
