**Your New Role and Responsibilities**

Are you passionate about technology and keen to kickstart your career in ICT?

This is your chance to gain hands-on experience in a dynamic infrastructure, network, and cloud team - while completing a nationally recognised Certificate IV in Information Technology (fully funded).

We’re offering a traineeship designed for curious, motivated individuals who are either currently studying or ready to begin their Cert IV journey. You will be paid for a combination of on-the-job work experience and study in this 24-month contract (the length of your study).

This is a fantastic role with real-world exposure to enterprise technology environments — including servers, networks, and cloud platforms — and a strong focus on learning, mentoring, and career development.

- Payment to study and work.
- Mentoring and support from experienced IT professionals.
- Exposure to enterprise-grade infrastructure and cloud environments.
- A strong foundation for future roles in IT support, systems administration, or cloud engineering.
- While we don’t guarantee a role at the end of the traineeship, we believe this experience will position you strongly for future opportunities — either within our organisation or elsewhere in the tech industry.
