What are ATT’s apprenticeship options?
An ATT apprenticeship gives you the step up you need into a trade career with long term job prospects. We help you build your career from the get-go, with a dedicated support team behind you. All apprenticeships include a combination of on-job work experience and off-job block courses.
Our apprenticeships vary in length depending on the specific trade chosen.
PLUMBING, GASFITTING & DRAINLAYING APPRENTICESHIP
Our plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying (PGD) apprentices install and repair pipes, fixtures and fittings that supply water and gas, or alternatively remove waste and stormwater. This can be on large commercial construction projects, as well as small scale residential projects.
ELECTRICAL APPRENTICESHIP
Our electrical apprentices are responsible for installing, maintaining and troubleshooting electrical wiring systems. You will find yourself working in homes, commercial or industrial buildings, and even machines and large pieces of equipment.
DRAINLAYING APPRENTICESHIP
Our drainlaying apprentices lay and repair sewer and stormwater pipes, and install and repair wastewater treatment systems. This can be on large commercial construction projects, as well as small scale residential projects.
What does an apprenticeship involve?
An apprenticeship equips you with the best of both worlds. You learn on the job, in a team from those who lead in the trades industry. Plus you have access to deepen your knowledge by learning the theory of your profession in the classroom. ATT is your trusted partner to a successful start to your career.
Theory
As part of your apprenticeship you will attend block courses (day or night) and complete the required unit standards to achieve your trade qualification.
On the job
You will undertake on-job experience with your host company and complete the required number of hours working on projects to successfully complete your apprenticeship.
Community & support
You are not in this alone. Through ATT, you have a network of support including an assigned ATT area manager, ATT training support, your host company, as well as tutors and other apprentices.
Why is ATT your trusted partner?
We make it much easier for you to manage your apprenticeship in comparison to being directly employed. We are here to support you every step of the way to becoming a successful tradesperson.
“Doing my apprenticeship through ATT helped me focus more on my on-job experiences as they handle all my off-job requirements. It makes everything hassle free and so much easier to cope with an apprenticeship.” – Mohammed Zaheer (Electrical apprentice)
