TRAINEESHIPS
Apprenticeships and traineeships offer diverse career opportunities as
well as the ability to earn while you learn. With an apprenticeship or traineeship, you’re
paid for your time at work as well as the time you conduct training with Chisholm.
Another advantage of apprenticeships and traineeships is their flexibility. You can work
part-time or full-time, and even complete some apprenticeships and traineeships at school as a
School Based Apprenticeship or Traineeship (SBAT).

schedule where you work for four or five weeks and then attend for one week. Depending on the
apprenticeship you undertake, workplace training may be an option also.
Our training facilities represent real-world learning environments, with quality
educators, strong links with industry and opportunities for employment and further study.
By completing an apprenticeship or traineeship your career opportunities could be endless.

Meet Dianna, a Caroline Chisholm Education Foundation
success story
Dianna left school in year 9 at the age of 15 when the traditional secondary
school environment was not supporting her needs. At 20 years of age, Dianna
recommenced her education by enrolling into VCAL (Victorian Certificate of
Applied Learning). Dianna’s return to education was assisted by the financial
support of the Caroline Chisholm Education Foundation Scholarship. As a single
mother, the scholarship allowed her to successfully complete a course she would
otherwise not have had access to.
Dianna not only completed her VCAL but went on to successfully complete a
Certificate III in Business Administration Traineeship with the Red Cross, and a
Certificate IV in Business Administration with asistance from the CCEF.
From those early years of uncertainty, Dianna developed in to a confident
student. As the mother of a young daughter, working fulltime in administration
including reception, sales, and purchasing, Dianna’s future is filled with
opportunities. In the future, Dianna aspires to undertake further study, eventually
working in a senior position and saving for a house.
