Business Administration Trainees – Certificate III in Business | 2 Positions Available

Full-Time | 12-Month Traineeship | Salisbury, Brisbane

WetTrade Apprenticeships is currently looking for two motivated Business Administration Trainees to join our team at Salisbury.

These are full-time, entry-level positions offered as a Certificate III in Business (BSB30120) traineeship, providing the successful applicants with the opportunity to gain practical workplace experience while completing a nationally recognised qualification.

The positions will provide administration and business support across WetTrade Apprenticeships, the National Institute of Construction Skills (NICS) and Master Painters Association Queensland.

We are looking for people who are reliable, organised, willing to learn and genuinely interested in developing a career in administration and business.

About the roles

We have two traineeship positions available, with both providing broad exposure to administration and business operations.

One position will have a stronger focus on general administration, participant and program support, records, scheduling and data management.

The second position will provide broader exposure to administration, reception and customer service, membership and stakeholder support, events, projects and general business operations.

Both trainees will work as part of our administration team and may assist across the three organisations depending on operational requirements.

What you will be doing

Your duties may include:

- answering telephone calls, taking messages and directing enquiries

- greeting visitors and providing qualified customer service

- responding to routine email and telephone enquiries

- data entry and maintaining accurate electronic records

- filing, scanning and document management

- preparing routine correspondence, forms and documents

- assisting with apprentice, trainee and student administration

- assisting with applications, enrolments and participant records

- helping coordinate appointments, meetings, interviews and training activities

- assisting with funded program administration





- supporting membership administration and enquiries

- assisting with events, meetings and industry activities

- following up outstanding information and documentation

- updating spreadsheets and internal systems

- supporting reporting and compliance documentation

- assisting with general office administration as required.

You will receive training and support as you learn the role, so we are not expecting you to already know everything.
