We offer a huge range of jobs right around Queensland. Doing your apprenticeship with us gives you a head-start into one of the many varied career paths we offer – such as in nursing, construction, business or media.

Here’s one of our apprentices Katelyn, currently undertaking a Certificate III in Government
“I didn’t know what to expect when I started working. I’m actually quite surprised at how interesting the work is. Every day is different. There’s always something to learn. And my supervisor’s great. Being here is giving me confidence. When I finish, I’ll have learned a lot and have some good experience behind me. It’s giving me a much better idea about what I’d like to do after I finish school. This apprenticeship will help towards landing my dream job.”
