Apprenticeships & Traineeships
in the Automotive Industry

Paid, supported pathways into real careers - helping apprentices and employers succeed from start to finish.

More than apprenticeships — we create sustainable career paths and opportunities for the future.”

About Us​

Apprenticeships Are Us Ltd is a registered charity and not-for-profit organisation. We are dedicated to helping young school leavers, disadvantaged youth, and the broader community start and complete a traineeship or apprenticeship across a wide range of industries.

Although we started with a strong foundation in the automotive sector, we have continued to grow. Today, we offer opportunities in business administration, IT, electrical, plumbing, early childhood education, marketing, fabrication, and many more fields. As a result, we’re now helping more young Australians than ever before.

Moreover, our mission is simple: to create sustainable career paths. We connect apprentices and trainees with trusted host employers. At the same time, we provide mentoring, life skills training, and ongoing support throughout their journey.

As a specialised Group Training Organisation, we do more than just match candidates. We work closely with businesses across various sectors. This approach allows us to source quality traineeship or apprenticeship opportunities. In turn, it ensures a positive and productive experience for both the apprentice and the host employer.

Additionally, we actively support our apprentices and trainees in the community. You’ll often find us at career fairs, trade expos, government forums, and vocational training events. Through mentorship, job-readiness programs, and employability training, we help candidates build confidence and succeed.

Apprentices and trainees complete their formal qualifications through a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) of their choice. Meanwhile, they gain real-world experience through their host employer in their chosen field.

2026 Social Impact Report

The impact of an apprenticeship goes beyond the individual

At Apprenticeships Are Us, we know completing an apprenticeship can be the beginning of something much bigger. An apprenticeship provides more than a trade qualification — it can create a pathway to long-term employment, financial independence, career progression and opportunities that extend well beyond the individual.

Our 2026 Social Impact Report explores the employment, financial, personal and intergenerational impact of apprenticeship completion in Australia. It examines how gaining a trade qualification can influence an apprentice’s career, earning potential and future opportunities, while also creating positive outcomes for their household, family and wider community.

As a specialist Group Training Organisation, Apprenticeships Are Us works with apprentices, trainees and host employers to create supported pathways into the workforce. From automotive apprenticeships and skilled trades to a growing range of industries, our focus is on helping young Australians build practical skills, gain real-world experience and develop sustainable, long-term careers.

The report highlights the broader social and economic impact of apprenticeships in Australia, demonstrating why investment in skills development, vocational education and the next generation of tradespeople benefits not only apprentices and employers, but the communities around them.
