Apprentices on right path A group of more than 300 young Victorians who recently joined the workforce via a Victorian Government program are “setting up a lifetime of fulfilling work”, according to Employment Minister Jaala Pulford.

“This is about young people learning new skills and gaining invaluable experience in the workplace — setting up a lifetime of fulfilling work,” she said.

“Work means so much more than a weekly pay slip — it instils pride, satisfaction and ambition and it’s wonderful to watch these young men and women take their first steps on an incredible journey.”

Launched last September, the Victorian Apprenticeship Recovery Package provides apprenticeship and trainee roles across the state, supporting people aged 15 to 24 into fully funded, 12-month opportunities.

The young workers join government departments and agencies, and local councils.

Young people were among the most heavily affected by pandemic-related job losses, and the program created an opportunity for unemployed people and school leavers to get started in paid work while continuing training.

The roles are spread across regional and metropolitan areas including Victorian Government hubs in Ballarat and Geelong, at organisations such as VicRoads and Victoria Police, and in primary and secondary schools, health services and water authorities.

The program is designed to ensure participants leave with experience and on-the-job training to help them secure future employment.
