Not sure if this is allowed but thought it'd be nice to let anyone interested know that Sydney Trains are open for applications for their apprenticeships.

They don't discriminate age if you're worried about being too old for an "apprentice." Could be good for anyone looking for a career change.

Below I've linked the pages to the electrical trades and mechanical trades which have may have any information you seek.

    Salary range: $628.9-$1092.65

    Typo or pay range per day?

      Per day for whirlpool, per hour for ozbargain.

        Lack of WFH options kills the deal for me.

      Commencing base gross salary for Apprentices is
      $638.70 per week or $954.65 per week for apprentices aged 21.
      In addition, employees receive:
      • 10.5 per cent superannuation
      • Penalty rates (as applicable)
      • Shift allowances (as applicable)
      • Annual leave loading

      That ~50% increase just for starting aged 21 is pretty sizable.

        Didn't realise state governments also did age discrimination, like Maccas. If the workload is the same, why is the pay lower for 20 year olds?

          The lower [junior] payrate is because they require more supervision than older adults, especially in mechanical or electrical work.

          https://www.fairwork.gov.au/pay-and-wages/minimum-wages/juni…

          The junior pay rate presumably existed to fix youth unemployment, since if the business is given leeway to pay juniors less then they are more likely to hire school leavers or youths who are desperately in need of a first job, although its anyone's guess if that actually works the way it is intended to.

          Not sure why I'm being negged so heavily, was a genuine question. Is the phrase 'age discrimination' not an accurate way to describe the fact that a 20 year old gets less than a 21 year old adult. I did see the response and it makes sense but anyway…

          Because it's easier to exploit minors

        Should be 11% super as per the Super Guarantee …

      Defs per week

    Do you think it would really matter if the application was running a bit late?

    • pharkurnell on 18/07/2023 - 16:38

      Is this a trick question?

      You only get shortlisted if your application is late.

      What an odd statement.
