Over the past six months, I have worked closely with Golden West Apprenticeships to coordinate the School-Based Traineeship Program across the South West region of Queensland. Golden West has provided professional, end-to-end support, including school engagement, recruitment, onboarding, employment management and ongoing support for both students and host sites.
The range of traineeship roles has been diverse, including Business Administration, Allied Health Assistant, Patient Services Assistant, Assistant in Nursing, Pharmacy Assistant, Indigenous Primary Health Care and Aged Care. Golden West’s effective communication, compliance expertise and genuine commitment to the success of each trainee has significantly strengthened our workforce channels and supported local student pathways into healthcare.
I would recommend Golden West Apprenticeships as a trusted partner for any Hospital and Health Service seeking to build sustainable, regionally based workforce pathways.
