Kickstart Your Career in Electrotechnology
This qualification covers competencies for work entry program providing grounding in safety and basic skills and knowledge for work in any electrotechnology discipline. The aim of this pre-apprenticeship is to provide learners with industry specific training to gain skills, knowledge and behaviours to enable transition into an indentured apprenticeship.
This program has been developed in response to ongoing demand within the electrotechnology industry for entry-level workers with foundational skills, knowledge, and safety awareness. Industry consultation with local employers and stakeholders has identified a need for pre-apprenticeship training that prepares learners for the expectations of the workplace, particularly in relation to work health and safety, basic electrical principles, and the use of tools and equipment. The program is designed to support workforce development by creating a pipeline of job-ready learners who can transition into apprenticeships or further training.
This program is designed for a general cohort of learners, including school leavers, and adult learners seeking to enter the electrotechnology industry. It is suitable for individuals with little to no prior experience who are looking to gain foundational skills, as well as those exploring career pathways or seeking to improve their employability within the trades sector.
On completion of this program, learners will achieve a nationally recognised qualification and develop the underpinning knowledge and practical skills required for entry-level roles in the electrotechnology industry. The program supports pathways into electrical apprenticeships and further study, while also building employability skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. Learners will gain practical experience in a simulated workshop environment, develop an understanding of workplace expectations, and improve their readiness for employment or further vocational training.
