This report presents the findings of the investigation into the quality and effectiveness of the traineeship program in Queensland, with particular regard to those programs which are delivered fully on-the-job, and to provide recommendations to the Government on measures by which the quality and effectiveness of the program might be improved. The report provides a detailed analysis and assessment of the traineeship system as a system and of its individual components. The concluding chapter proposes changes to the traineeship system that are necessary to assure its quality. Ten broad strategies are identified and specific recommendations made to support each one. Most of the recommendations relate to implementation matters and can be addressed at state level but some relate to questions of national policy in relation to the National Training Framework (NTF). These broader national issues are considered at the end of the chapter. The chapters are: A quality traineeship system; Current arrangements in Queensland; Evidence; Findings; Conclusions and recommendations.
