Opportunities for On-the-Job Training
Our Trainee, Cadet, and Work Experience programs provide valuable on-the-job experience and employability skills while undertaking relevant studies.
Cadets and trainees undertake their courses part-time while employed full-time, with dedicated time during work hours to study and complete assessments. As part of the employment offer, Council pays 100% of course fees and costs associated with studies.
We offer trainee and cadetship programs in:
* Horticulture and gardening
* Human Resources
* Community Development
* Building surveying
* Town Planning
* Journalism
* Plumbing
Currently, we have over 20 active trainee and cadet positions available. These positions typically last for a fixed period of 2-6 years, depending on the length of study required for a particular qualification.
Trainee and cadet positions allow applicants to join at an entry-level position, often without requiring former professional or educational experience. When applying, consider how your life experience, volunteering, or sports team involvement have developed your skills. Please refer to the attached guide for more information.
