The Australian Apprenticeships and Traineeships Information Service (AATIS) raises awareness of potential apprenticeship and traineeship pathways to students, job hunters, career advisors, employers and others working in the industry. We provide up-to-date information and resources which are used by the networks delivering Australian Apprenticeships support services, including Apprenticeship Network providers and Group Training Organisations.
Our website and resources are used for career planning and direction. We are active across online and digital platforms to help people navigate through the Australian Apprenticeships system. AATIS is free to use and is funded by the Australian Government Department of Employment and Workplace Relations.
Australian Apprenticeship information and resources delivered through AATIS will be transitioning to a new website delivered by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR). The Australian Apprenticeships Pathways website, along with AATIS’ social media accounts, will be decommissioned by 31 December 2023. For more information about the transition and closure of AATIS, please visit the news page on AAPathways.

The core AATIS values underpin the way we work and communicate, across platforms. These values can be seen in our everyday activities and in specific campaigns and activities.

Our Partners
AATIS offers tools, resources and programs that empowers its partners to provide superior services in the apprenticeships and traineeships space. We work with the federal and state governments and many organisations in this space to provide unbiased, accurate and quality information and resources about apprenticeships and traineeships.
We are also partnered with an Advisory Committee which comprises of peak bodies and organisations that support, guide and collaborate with us to promote awareness around Australian Apprenticeships and promote it as a viable career pathway. Some of our Advisory Committee members are:
Career Industry Council of Australia (CICA) is the National Peak Body for the Career Industry in Australia. Its establishment in 2000 was a world first and it continues to be a leader in the field. It is a focal point for government and other stakeholders concerned for and interested in promoting quality career development programs and services in Australia. CICA’s vision is to enhance transitions and productivity by advocating the individual, social and economic benefits of quality career development for all Australians.
The National Apprentice Employment Network (NAEN) is Australia’s largest employer network of apprentices and trainees. The employer network is unique, as it represents the practice of Group Training under which Group Training Organisations (GTOs) directly employ apprentices and trainees and place them with host businesses. They are a national voice for the GTO network to the Australian Government – providing evidence-based information to inform government policy. Across metropolitan, rural, regional and remote Australia, the network employs approx. 25,000 apprentices and trainees in a diverse range of industries.
World Skills believe that skills drive the future of young people and Australia. Since 1981, they’ve championed skills excellence in vocational, technological and service-oriented careers and helped over 100,000 people compete in national and international skill competitions. They’re passionate because skills grow careers, foster life-long partnerships, and build successful communities.
