Looking to get your foot in the door of the carpentry industry?

Novaskill is seeking Expressions of Interest from people interested in pursuing a career in carpentry.

While submitting an EOI does not guarantee a job or mean there is an immediate apprenticeship position available, it gives our GTO Recruitment Team the chance to learn more about you and consider you for upcoming opportunities with Novaskill and our local host businesses.

Depending on your experience, skills and readiness, applying may open the door to pre-apprenticeship or short course opportunities designed to help you build your skills, gain industry experience and create a pathway towards a future Certificate III in Carpentry apprenticeship.

What could the pathway look like?

Your pathway may look different depending on your experience and the opportunities available. This could include:

- Being considered for upcoming Carpentry Apprenticeship opportunities.

- Access to relevant short courses or pre-apprenticeship training to help build your skills.

- Gaining practical industry experience and developing your employability skills.

- Working towards a future Certificate III in Carpentry apprenticeship.
