Construction Apprenticeships

Whether you want to build towers, tunnels or tables a Construction Apprenticeship could be for you. 

This trade is founded on craftsmanship, so attention to detail and precision are must-have traits for success. Construction apprenticeship outcomes include:

• Supervisory and team leadership roles with small, medium, and large construction and manufacturing companies
• Operate as a sole trader in a trade specialisation such as a Carpenter, Plumber or Tiler
• Progress to a small business owner and work on a range of private residential or commercial projects
• Work with large public or private companies that require skilled tradespeople on staff to maintain large infrastructure and facilities
• With further training, progress to more senior, specialist roles such as construction manager, contract administrator or in procurement

Construction apprenticeships typically take around 4 years to complete, depending on the trade specialisation and competency developed as part of your on-the-job training and study of a nationally accredited qualification.

Trade specialisations in construction mechanic roles include:

• Carpentry Apprenticeships
• Cabinet Making Apprenticeships
• Civil Construction Traineeships
• Painting Apprenticeships
• Plastering Apprenticeships
• Plumbing Apprenticeships

There is a need for construction tradespeople and the Government’s Australian Apprenticeships Priority List indentifies key skilled workers including bricklayers, cabinetmakers, carpenters, gasfitters, joiners, and plumbers.

This means support payments are available for eligible apprentices in these qualifications in 2024, in addition to other benefits and financial assistance that apprentices can access.
