The NSW Government Infrastructure Traineeship program, managed by School Infrastructure NSW and the Construction Leadership Group, supports Year 12 school leavers with employment in the infrastructure sector while they continue their study.

The program is a partnership, bringing government and industry together to deliver career options in the infrastructure sector for school leavers. Trainees combine study for a Certificate IV TAFE qualification and work in government and industry infrastructure projects. Trainees complete three eight-month rotations of work placements across three different government, industry and contractor positions.
