What’s It Like To Be
a Trainee?“I like working in a work environment, feeling like I’m contributing.”
This is Ceara’s story.


























Steve’s a sick bloke 🤙🏾




























Would recommend to anyone starting an apprenticeship










Excellent learning environment would definitely recomend










Highly recommend this institution as a place to learn and grow as an individual, not just a tradesman.
Couldn’t be more happier with my experiences here and excited for what the future holds.










Leaders in Apprenticeships and Group Training Programs
NECA Education & Careers is not your run-of-the-mill trade school or Group Training Organisation. It is a business which thrives on delivering great customer service to everyone who walks through our doors.
We make sure electrical apprentice jobs and traineeships are filled with skilled, dedicated workers.
Our customers range from pre-apprentices/apprentices to trainees to top tier electrical contractors. If you are looking for electrician courses to grow your career or to join us as a trainee, we have the right solution for you. If you are looking for a trainee or apprentice we have the right candidate to ensure the success of your projects.
The NECA Education & Careers Difference
We let companies focus on getting the job done by being a leading provider of tertiary education, direct employment and career opportunities across the electrical industry. We educate students to be the best they can be. In work, their personal life and the wider community. We know you can attend trade school anywhere or use any GTO, we don’t pretend to know everything and we own up when we make mistakes. What we also know is that we are different. We are a family, we all connect to our purpose, and we are dedicated to making you part of our family too.

Summary Report
A recent independent study by SVA Consulting has found that GTO”s save host employers time and money. “For every $1 invested by host employers in GTO’s they received $1.70 value in return.” * The value is created because GTOs:
- Screen, recruit and place apprentices and trainees
- Manage induction, timesheets, payroll and entitlements
- Manage work, health and safety and industrial relations; and
- Apprentices and trainees hired from GTOs are of better quality and are productive. This is because apprentices/trainees and host employers receive mentoring support, which results in host employers being able to better manage the apprentice/trainee.
