Traineeships and apprenticeships
Shoalhaven City Council offers a wide range of traineeships, trade apprenticeships and cadetships that are advertised through Zeal Futures.
Traineeships, apprenticeships and cadetships are paid entry level workplace training and qualifications. They are a combination of ‘on-the-job’ training and ‘off-the-job’ formal training e.g. TAFE or University.
