More than 300 young Victorians have joined the workforce through a Victorian Government program that provides apprenticeship and trainee roles across the state.
Launched last September, the
Victorian Apprenticeship Recovery Package supports people aged 15 to 24 into fully funded, 12-month apprenticeships or traineeships with government departments and agencies, and local councils.
Young people were among the most heavily affected by job losses caused by the pandemic, and the program created a crucial opportunity for unemployed people and those coming out of school to get a foot in the door to fulfilling employment while also undertaking training.
The roles are spread across regional and metropolitan areas including Victorian Government hubs in Ballarat and Geelong, and in organisations including VicRoads, Victoria Police, primary and secondary schools, health services and water authorities, including Central Highlands Water.
