We respectfully request that the State Training Board supports the proposal outlined above, and provides supporting recommendation to the Minister for Education and Training.
Employability in the fast changing world requires real life work experience and skills, we are not all the same and learn differently and transships offer this gateways or avenue . Additionally traineeship would offer students that are not academically inclined the same opportunities as others. Additionally it provides small business greater opportunities who do not have the budgets to afford bachelor or higher students in the market.
