About the State Sector Modern Apprenticeship Programme

Learning State, as the industry training organisation for the State sector, coordinates the State Sector Modern Apprenticeship Programme. A modern apprenticeship can take between two to three years to complete, depending on the programme.

Employees can choose to specialise in any one of a number of areas, including:

• business administration,
• computing,
• contact centre operations and
• customer service.
• of the learning takes place on the job, in a way that enhances your employee's work skills, knowledge and productivity. At the end of the programme, your employee will gain a nationally recognised tertiary qualification.

What's involved?

Learning State aims to make it as easy as possible for State sector agencies to take part.

We'll provide your agency with a 'modern apprenticeship coordinator' who'll be responsible for mentoring, monitoring and supporting your employee. We can also arrange for assessment of your modern apprentice, although there may be a small fee for this.
