Will you be starting grade 11/12 and are you unsure of what you want to ‘do’ when you finish school?

Why not consider a School-based Traineeship with the Tasmanian State Service!

Commencing early 2024, there are approximately 14 Australian School-based Traineeships across Business Administration/Customer Service, Information Technology, Laboratory, Visitor Services and Animal Care.

As a school-based trainee, you are able to:

The benefits include:

  • earn money while working and training;

  • gain points towards your TCE;
  • complete a nationally recognised qualification; and
  • the option to continue into higher education/qualification upon completion.
