Looking for a new career? A mature-age apprenticeship or traineeship is a great start!

You definitely don’t need a high school certificate to apply for an apprenticeship or traineeship and it’s never too late to start. Employers value mature-age apprentices or trainees as, usually, they already have some life and work skills and know what is expected in the workplace.

Whether you left school a few years ago or have been in the workforce for a while and would like to start a new career path, mature age apprenticeships or traineeships is a great way to earn while you learn for your new career. 

Each year, BUSY At Work, an Australian Apprenticeship Support provider, helps thousands of adult workers change careers, or re-enter the workforce into a different role. It’s a huge part of what we do – we’d almost go as far to say we’re specialists in it.

There’s also a formal acknowledgment called ‘recognition of prior learning’ – which means we know that with your age comes maturity, reliability, life experience and possibly some previous formal training. There’s a chance we can help you to get these skills recognised, which can help shorten your training time and get you qualified sooner.
