East Coast Apprenticeships is one of Queensland’s largest traditional Group Training Organisations

We employ apprentices and trainees across a range of trade industries and place them with successful Host Employers. Apprentices and trainees receive paid “on the job” training whilst completing a formal certification. Our services extend to providing ongoing business, training and recruitment support to our valued Host Employers.

Founded in 1988, we’re proud to be a community-based, not-for-profit organisation. The service that we provide to our clients is the heart of our mission statement. We take pride in our workmanship and strive for a reputation of integrity and quality service.

Why Choose East Coast?

For Apprentices and Trainees:

As one of Queensland’s largest Group Training Organisations we are more likely to be able to rotate you to different employers to either keep you working in your trade or provide you greater exposure to the full scope of the trade as well as develop a wider set of skills by learning from different tradesmen.

Additionally, East Coast offers a unique service of “Pastoral Care” to all apprentices and trainees. The value of Pastoral Care offered to students is that they are nurtured and supported by experienced Field Officers who foster encouragement, a positive influence, improved decision-making skills and increased self-esteem by ensuring each trainee is making strong progress within their traineeship and supporting them through any challenges.

For Host Employers:

Our aim is to make employing apprentices and trainees a hassle-free process for all our Host Employers, so we manage the whole recruitment process for you.

When you become a Host Employer, a dedicated Business Development Officer will be assigned to your company. They will make regular on-site visits to check on the progress of your apprentice or trainee and provide you with any support you may require. Our skilled Employment Consultants have years of experience and will work with you to ensure they understand the specific needs and objectives of your business when sourcing new workers.
