Trainers meet with our trainees, weekly for around 1 hour, to review progress and to set study tasks. Both the Trainee and Host Company managers receive a copy of progress reports. Trainees are expected to devote an average of 3 hours per week in completing unit activities and receiving on-the-job instruction. Additionally during the course of your traineeship, you will occasionally be required to attend specialist trainee programs and tours away from your workplace
What do I get paid?
Future Force Trainees are paid the National Training Wage for the period of the traineeship, with increases in salary each January. Upon graduation, commercial industry wages apply.
How long does it take to Graduate?
To some extent, that is up to you and how hard you work. The average time taken by past trainees to graduation is around 20 months, during which time you complete Certificate III and gain valuable on-job experience. In almost every case over the past 9 years, the trainee has been retained by the Host Company on graduation, as a full-time employee on a commercial wage.
