Central Coast Council’s Trainee and Apprentice Program (TrApp) is looking for eligible students to build their careers with a range of roles on offer in a variety of fields.
The program offers students an opportunity to complete a nationally recognised qualification as a full-time paid employee at Council in their chosen field – which this year includes new disciplines including landscape construction, horticulture and painting.
Other fields include electrical, mechanical, carpentry, childcare, civil construction, warehousing, water treatment, surveying, metal fabrication, boilermaking and fitting.
Director of Corporate Services Marissa Racomelara said this year’s program was the largest undergraduate and graduate drive Council had undertaken and aimed to develop students to become job ready.
“We are committed to supporting our residents studying at a vocational level with an opportunity to increase their chances of securing employment,” she said.
“Our TrApp Program aims to educate students, so they are qualified at a high industry standard by developing their practical and professional skills in a safe and supportive environment.
“Students who complete the program are armed with workplace development and expert training, so they are more competitive in the job market, and they are also exposed to career opportunities with Council.
“Local youth and mature-age students looking to start a career or wanting to gain new skills in a range of fields are encouraged to apply for our 2023 program.”
Administrator Rik Hart said Council’s TrApp Program had been a success and continued to provide an exciting opportunity particularly for young people.
“This important program offers our community an opportunity to build their careers within local government and gain valuable training in their chosen path,” he said.
“Council has an important role to play in providing our youth with employment opportunities and supporting our residents with roles to live and work locally.
“I am proud that Council offers opportunities for our community to gain professional experience and become job ready in their chosen career.”
Applications for Council’s 2023 TrApp Program opened on July 15, just after this year’s World Youth Skills Day, which celebrates the importance of equipping young people with skills for employment.
