Your responsibilities as a trainee

Your role as a trainee may be varied, but your responsibilities will be about being aware of and making a commitment to fulfil your work responsibilities

This involves:

• attending and performing work in a professional and courteous manner in accordance with the employer’s requirements.
• taking care of workplace property and resources.
• respecting the rights of other New Apprentices and employees in the workplace.
• remembering that information obtained from the employer must be kept confidential and not disclosed without approval from the employer.
• consent from a parent or guardian, if you are less than 18 years of age.

You also need to be aware of and make a commitment to fulfil your training responsibilities.

This involves:

• making all reasonable efforts to achieve the competencies specified in the training plan and undertaking any training and assessment required.
• participating in the development of the training plan.
• attending training sessions or supervised workplace activities and taking advantage of learning opportunities.
• maintaining a record of training such as a training record book.
