Expression of Interest: Apprenticeship and Trainee Positions (LEAP)

LEAP into your career and join us!

Council's Lismore Employment Acceleration Pathways (LEAP) program is dedicated to creating local employment opportunities within our community for those looking to start or change careers.  

We encourage people who are motivated and passionate about their chosen career and who actively want to contribute to a positive future for Lismore City Council and its community.  

Through the program you will work towards gaining a nationally recognised qualification, with a combination of on-the-job experiences and mentoring in addition to classroom and online learning. 

Apprenticeships 

You will spend 3/4 years (dependent upon the apprenticeship) working full time and learning a traditional trade and graduate as a qualified tradesperson. An apprenticeship opens the door to gaining essential skills, experience and training for trades. 

Traineeships

You will spend 1-3 years (dependent upon the traineeship) working and studying to complete a relevant qualification within the industry. There’s no substitute for learning on the job. Traineeships are a great way to start your professional career. 

Information Session 

An information session will be held at 4.30pm on Wednesday 4 December 2024 at the Corporate Centre – 43 Oliver Avenue, Goonellabah to provide further information.  Please notify of your interest in attending by emailing trainingadmin@lismore.nsw.gov.au

• Be curious, ask questions, and be open to gaining new knowledge and skills. 
• Be able to express your ideas clearly and listen actively to others.
