TRAINEESHIPS AND THE FURNISHING INDUSTRY

 

What is a Traineeship?

Traineeships provide the basic training requirements for people commencing work in the furnishing industry. Traineeships are cost-effective and flexible work and study arrangements, usually lasting for one year full time or two years part time. Trainees are paid a training wage and are trained on-the-job by the employer. They are assisted in this training with trainee assessment from FIAA in our capacity as a Registered Training Organisation.

 

Why choose Traineeships?

Furnishing trades are only offered at a few locations within the State TAFE system and in many cases it can be difficult for apprentices in some regional areas to attend "off the job" training at TAFE. This is part of the value proposition for FIAA as your preferred supplier of training and assessment.

 

What FIAA offers as an RTO:

FIAA has provided services as an RTO for over ten years, servicing New South Wales state-wide with excellent results for both employers and trainees. FIAA will provide the trainee with the following:

 

• a workplace training and assessment guide for the enterprise

• staff to monitor the progress of the trainees
• a qualified, accredited workplace assessor to assess the trainee's on-the-job competency
• provide support and guidance to both employer and trainee throughout the term of the traineeship
• on completion, the trainee will be provided with a nationally recognised qualification and certificate

 

What the trainee will learn:

The objective of the training is to provide the trainee with a wide range of basic skills such as:

 

• Occupational Health & Safety
• Workplace Environment
• Calculations
• Introduction to Materials
