Why You Should Start Your Career with a VERTO Traineeship

Making a start on a new career path can feel like a massive step, but with the right support and opportunities, climbing the ladder can be more like climbing some well-designed (and not very steep) stairs. Plus, a traineeship gives you the opportunity to learn while you earn money, instead of picking up a hefty HECS debt and waiting until you’re qualified to be able to start work!  

Take it from Mackenzie, who took charge of her career with a VERTO traineeship and now has a rewarding full-time job that she loves (at VERTO!). So, if you’re looking to get a helping hand to kick off your career, here’s how a traineeship could be the perfect launchpad. 
  

You can speed-run from trainee to corporate girly

The number one perk of a traineeship is the fact that you don’t have to wait until you’re qualified to start working. You’re paid to learn on the job, fast-tracking your way to becoming fully qualified in your field (it doesn’t have to be a corporate job).  

For example, Mackenzie started her career with VERTO as a trainee receptionist, after she saw firsthand how much the company had supported her brother. She quickly moved from a receptionist role to a corporate employee, helping out as a case manager and taking on additional responsibilities, like working in youth advisory roles. 
 

You can upskill on the house

A traineeship isn’t just work experience, you’ll also get your hands on a tangible, nationally recognised qualification. To make things even better, with a traineeship through VERTO, you can get that certificate free of charge, meaning you won’t have a huge HECS debt to pay off. Like Mackenzie, who had her Certificate III in Business funded by VERTO, which, for her “was amazing because I wouldn’t have done it otherwise.” And it was a bit of a game-changer, opening the doors she needed to move up quickly in her career. 
 

You’ll be supported all the way

In the early stages of your career, having the right support can make all the difference. And during her traineeship, Mackenzie found exactly that. While she was upskilling with VERTO, she moved 11hrs from her home town to Lismore and would have had to look for a new job, but instead, VERTO recognized her skills and potential, and promoted her to a case manager in her new town. This is just one way VERTO supports their trainees to make sure they have every chance to finish their traineeship and get career-ready. 
 

Start your path to your dream career

Our chat with Mackenzie is proof that a traineeship can totally transform your career. From a trainee receptionist to a case manager, her journey shows that with the right support, a career you genuinely love is well within reach. And now, Mackenzie gets to deliver that support to other young people to help them find the same path!
