Traineeships and apprenticeships are a major form of entry-level employment and training for new job seekers within Australia.

Benefits for trainees and apprentices include the opportunity to learn on the job, build knowledge and workplace skills whilst gaining a nationally recognised qualification, and earn an income whilst studying.

Vacancies for traineeships and apprenticeships advertised on this website as they arise.

Mackay City Council is committed to providing a number of new traineeship and apprenticeship opportunities throughout the year.
