2011 Apprenticeships

Hi there, I hope you were not told that if you do the course with AA that you would get first dibs on jobs with QANTAS and Jetstar and others and get charged a lot of dollars for the pleasure. AA have used similar strategies for years now. Industry are not interested in student from AA as they usually have a heap of passes in Exams and very little hand skills. To get employed as a second year Apprentice with low hand skills is not going to happen.

The recruiting teams contact all RTO's across Australia for the next years Apprentice program. It is a level playing field and yes it is very competitive.

I would suggest you plan a road trip and start dropping in at regional Airports and apply for any job you can get.

Good luck and don't give up.
