This paper was written by Bruce Mackenzie. It describes a concept designed to: (i) provide an alternative or supplementary training model to existing apprenticeship programs; (ii) offer Australia’s youth a similar educational pathway to that which is currently available to international students; (iii) provide an educational framework which would provide a qualification for participants to enter both managerial/professional as well as skilled tradespersons’ positions; (iv) ensure that Australia’s skilled training system is equal to or compares with best international practice; (v) increase the chances of apprentices going onto further study; (vi) reduce the training time for apprentices; and (vii) reduce attrition rate for apprentices.

Landmarks in the Australian apprenticeship and traineeship system

Pre-apprenticeships in Australia: differing orientations and their policy implications
Journal of Vocational Education & Training, 2013
ABSTRACT Little has been published in the Australian vocational education and training (VET) literature on the topic of pre-apprenticeships, which are a loose type of preparatory courses for apprenticeships available in some trades. Nevertheless, pre-apprenticeships have been in existence for several decades. With continuing concern over skill shortages in Australia, the research study on which this paper is based investigated the role of pre-apprenticeship courses in addressing skill shortages in the electrotechnology, automotive and engineering trades, some of the largest ‘traditional trades’ in Australia, and those with sizeable numbers in pre-apprenticeships. The principal objective of the overall study was to determine whether the use of pre-apprenticeships increased the size and suitability of the supply of entrants to the traditional apprenticeships and whether pre-apprenticeships do or might increase completion rates in apprenticeships. The paper uses findings from the study to develop a typology of pre-apprenticeship courses, proposing two fundamental orientations and discussing whether different orientations towards pre-apprenticeships are compatible with one another.
