As Year 12 students start planning their future beyond school, it’s an ideal time for them to explore the variety of apprenticeship opportunities available. I’ve included links to several businesses currently offering apprenticeships for students intending to leave school at the end of this year.

WA Apprenticeship & Traineeship Intake Guide

Please emphasise to students the importance of having a well-crafted resume and cover letter as part of their application process. Including a cover letter allows them to tell their story, highlight their soft skills, and show genuine interest in the position while aligning with the company’s values.

For students needing assistance with their resumes or cover letters, your local Jobs and Skills Centre can be incredibly helpful. Additionally, Apprenticeship Support Australia’s Skillsroad website provides excellent templates to help them get started. I’ve included links to both resources below.
