Apprentice and trainee intake offers opportunities for everyone

Workplace diversity and flexibility are a major focus of the Apprentice and Trainee intake program.

Mayor Greg Williamson said the Apprentice and Trainee program offered an opportunity for successful applicants to gain valuable on the job training.

“Council is a fantastic place to work, and we encourage people from all walks of life to consider taking on a role in our workforce,” Mayor Williamson said.

“With roles across the board, from libraries to local laws and water services – there is something to pique everyone’s interest,” he said.

“The apprentice and traineeships often lead to full time work at council, and we are very proud to say we have many of our past apprentices and trainees still working here even 10 years later.”
