Apprenticeships and Traineeships

At Verve Energy, we invest in our people and future.  Our vision is to become the leading business in the evolving Western Australian energy market.
As part of that vision, we recognise the importance of developing our workforce for the successful operation of our power stations. 

  • Mechanical;
  • Electrical/instrument; and
  • Boilermaker/pressure welder.
Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships combine on-the-job practical experience with a structured training program, and provide candidates with a nationally-recognised qualification. 

In 2007 Verve Energy will offer six apprenticeships, four at Muja Power Station near Collie and two at Kwinana Power Station at Naval Base. We plan to offer three apprenticeships in 2008.
Apprenticeships will be advertised in the West Australian newspaper and some country papers around August this year. 

Traineeships

A traineeship is a structured program combining on and off the job training. The benefits for trainees include:

  • Getting paid while you learn.
  • Gaining a nationally-recognised qualification; and
  • Obtaining skills that are transferable.

The Verve Energy traineeship is a four-year course. The number of traineeships offered varies each year.
Traineeships are advertised towards the latter part of the year in the West Australian newspaper and some country papers.


Traineeships are offered in the following trades:
