Modern Apprenticeships
If you’re aged 16 – 21, you’re keen and you’d like a bit of extra support then you could be eligible to become a modern apprentice.
Modern apprenticeships are a Government sponsored scheme for 16-21 year olds, and in some cases over 21s, in industry employment.
Modern apprentices receive personalised support, training plans and goal-setting sessions with a modern apprenticeship co-ordinator. This extra help can get you to your goals that bit faster.
Modern apprenticeship pathways are available in the water treatment, wastewater treatment, reticulation and irrigation sectors.
To become a modern apprentice, you must already be employed in the water industry.
Call your local training adviser on 0800 WATER IT (0800 928 374) today to find out if you’re eligible. Further information can be found at www.modernapprenticeships.co.nz
