Electrical Engineering – Traineeships

Come back to this website soon as we're in the process of creating a new website for traineeships, which will allow you to view videos and hear more from our trainees.

Our Electrical Engineering traineeship program combines study for Electrical Technology (Advanced Diploma) at TAFE and industrial experience at EnergyAustralia.

Upon completion of the traineeship, you’ll be eligible for appointment as a para-professional with EnergyAustralia.

You’ll need a genuine interest in the field of Electrical Engineering and wish to pursue a career in the industry. The traineeship is awarded not only on academic marks, but a combination of academic results and personal attributes and skills.

How to Apply

If you’re interested in electrical engineering, and you want to go to TAFE, why not go for it?
A traineeship with us will allow you the best of both worlds and ready you for success.
Our program offers a lively, hands-on career where you’ll be working with experienced
professionals and a friendly team. We’ll value you as an asset and treat you as such from day one.

A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE IS WHAT YOU’LL MAKE
A career in the electricity industry allows you to make a contribution to society, and that’s what it’s all about. You’ll be providing the community with energy for life and making a difference in all that you do. You’ll have broad, challenging career options presented to you, and you’ll gain experience in many areas of interest.
