Business traineeship

About

In 2021, the NSW Government kicked off their Infrastructure Traineeship Programs, which blends TAFE NSW studies with a hands on experience for traineeships. A business traineeship is one of the fields where the NSW Government has included in their program, where you will study 1 day per week with TAFE NSW towards a BSB40120 Certificate IV in Business.

The Business Services industry is involved in the operation and management of businesses, including occupations from entry-level administrative and clerical staff to those involved in governance and corporate strategy at the highest level. As such it is not an independent industry; rather all Australian industries include workers in Business Services.
