The Exhibition and Event Association of Australasia (EEAA) is helping address the skills shortages within the business event sector in Australia with a new, historic industry traineeship program announced today.

Developed in partnership with TAFE NSW and Apprenticeships Support Australia, the industry traineeships program will deliver fit-for-purpose training and skills development for school leavers and people starting out in their careers.

In addition, TAFE NSW is offering a Pre-employment Program – a two-week introduction to the exhibition and events industry that includes five days of industry placement.

“Through this new program, we are providing a comprehensive framework that supports new entrants to our industry, ensures high standards for our sector, and delivers a potential new pipeline of candidates that companies can train into long-term employees with the specific skills required by their business.” EEAA Chief Executive, Joyce DiMascio said.

“The events sector needs a pipeline of young talent and this is a ground breaking traineeship program designed for our industry.”

Apprenticeship Support Australia will be promoting the program through its network of employers, schools and via www.skillsroad.com.au.

To begin with, this opportunity will only be available in NSW.

“TAFE NSW has secured special funding to deliver this for our industry and I urge you to take advantage of this opportunity to supplement your workforce by recruiting school leavers into our industry.” DiMascio said.

There are two traineeships being offered, see details below or read more about the program
