Southern Cross University (SCU) recognises its responsibility to the community in providing opportunities for people to gain work experience and formal training in the workplace. Traineeships are an important and valuable resource for SCU and we are committed to an annual recruitment program of trainees from our region.

Traineeships are:

• jobs that combine work and structured training. Normally, trainees work four days "on-the-job" each week and attend TAFE (or similar training organisation) for one day per week;
• normally offered on a full-time basis for 12 months;
• also available on a part-time basis;
• also available to Year 11 secondary school students on a part-time basis for two years (school-based traineeships);
• available in a range of areas. The most popular traineeships at SCU are: Business Administration, Laboratory Operations, Financial Services, and Information Technology; and
• administered jointly by SCU and local Group Training Organisations (GTO). Contact details of local GTOs are listed in the web link below. If you are interested in being considered for a traineeship at SCU, please contact your local GTO.
