Apprenticeships

We regulate apprenticeships and traineeships in Victoria.

Apprenticeships and traineeships combine on-the-job and formal training for qualifications in a wide range of industries. More than 74,000 people are in an apprenticeship or traineeship in Victoria. We seek to eliminate or minimise harm, and the risk of harm, to apprentices and trainees.
