Each year, Holden is committed to offering a number of first year apprentice positions in both South Australia and Victoria. Apprenticeship programs can include but are not limited to toolmaking, engineering trades (both electrical and mechanical), automotive mechanics and instrumentation technicians.
These four-year contracts commence in January each year. Successful candidates will receive on the job training in the relevant vocation and the opportunity to obtain a Certificate III qualification at a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) of choice.
First year apprentices will be rotated through a variety of plants, locations and roles and are given state-of-the-art technology to work with.
