We are all about providing employment options for apprentices and trainees. Working with our strong industry connections, we place aspiring apprentices and trainees into a role in their desired field.

We also work with governments to access funding, such as pre-apprenticeship programs, where candidates can earn while they learn and get invaluable on the job work experience at the same time!

We’re experts at giving trainees and apprentices a leg up in the industry and we offer customisable internal traineeships and school-based traineeships for students in year 11 and 12. This means you have the opportunity to tailor specialised programs for your business departments through us. It’s a win-win for both professional development and departmental growth.

We take the hassle out of employing an apprentice or trainee by taking care of all of their employment requirements, including:

It doesn’t stop there. We organise formal training and provide ongoing support for you and your trainee as they continue their journey with you.

Supporting Your Trainee

We are here to help! Check out how we have supported others t integrate a trainee into their team:

Sean completed a two-year traineeship with ICT at Endeavour Foundation between 2017 and 2020, achieving a Certificate III in Digital Media and Technology.

After completing his certificate, Sean was offered a full-time position as a Service Desk Technician. He worked his way up to Field Service Technician, and then in 2022, he is now the Team Leader for the Service Desk, where he manages ten people.

Matt, his manager, says Community Solutions gave him the best chance to find the perfect fit for the team.

The process has been extremely simple, and Community Solutions Field Representatives have been amazing in helping us through the whole process. There are also small YouTube video clips of the trainees that applied so you can have a quick view of the candidates before scheduling them for an interview which was extremely helpful in shortlisting candidates.

Chloe completed a 12-month Certificate III in Business Administration with Community Solutions while working full time. She was offered a fulltime position in the Customer Solutions Team where she accepted the role as Team Leader!

Chloe knew she wanted, and was excited, to make a difference to people’s lives as well as reach her own dreams along the way.

When reflecting on the recruitment process, her manager Monica found it easy, focusing on attitude, enthusiasm and fit for the team, rather than skills.

Including a trainee as a member of your team also allows role and business specific training, which can lead to further opportunities in that business once the traineeship is completed.
