Information Technology (IT) traineeships are more than just taking calls and changing people’s passwords.
As an IT trainee, you’ll be working (and earning!) in a real business to develop an advanced understanding of how networks, web technologies, software applications and digital media technologies work AND how to provide technical support for the people that use them.
With nearly every business in any industry needing people who understand IT – the opportunities are endless!
Whichever path you take in the industry, one thing is certain – every day will see you learning new things and communicating with a range of people to make their working process as efficient and digitally savvy as possible.
Here are the FAQs!

TitleWill an IT traineeship suit me?
The number one thing you have to be ok with as an IT trainee is communication.

You’ll also need to have a genuine interest in technology and get a kick out of continually improving how people work in the digital world.

TitleWhat will I learn?
You’ll learn the skills to confidently communicate with a range of people, understand a variety of IT systems and how to keep these systems functioning at a high level.
