Ballistic Training Solutions Pty Ltd

Ballistic Training Solutions is approved by the department as a pre-qualified supplier of the Career Boost Traineeship Pathway program which delivers government funding for the delivery of training and assessment services to trainees in registered National Training Contracts in Queensland.

​

Career Boost aims to take a person’s career to the next level, enabling them to grow and apply their skills to existing or new job roles and to support productivity growth and workplace innovation.

​

The program delivers training to help individuals develop the higher-level skills needed to secure employment, advance their careers, or progress to further education and training to undertake university or tertiary qualifications.

​

Career Boost offers either a general training pathway or employment-based apprenticeship or traineeship pathway.

 

​Under Career Boost, an eligible individual may access:
• one subsidized training place in either a certificate IV, diploma, or advanced diploma qualification under the general training pathway; OR
• a higher level apprenticeship/traineeship at certificate IV or above; and
• up to two subsidized skill sets in priority industries or sectors as part of the program.
 

If the individual has already accessed two apprenticeships/traineeships through a school based apprenticeship or traineeship
(SAT) or Career Start within the last 10 years, they are not eligible to undertake an apprenticeship/traineeship under Career Boost.

An individual cannot do two general pathway qualifications under Career Boost. This is to ensure equitable access for all eligible
Queenslanders to a training opportunity.

DTET may amend student eligibility requirements at any time based on factors such as budget, emerging priorities, and the
need to ensure a pipeline of workers for critical occupations and improved access to job opportunities for identified priority cohorts.

 

WHAT ARE THE TRAINING PATHWAYS IN CAREER BOOST?

Qualifications and skill sets delivered through a general training pathway are available for direct enrolment and do not require the student to enter into a training (apprenticeship/traineeship) contract with an employer.
 

The skill sets are designed to build targeted capabilities for specific roles or occupational functions. Completing a priority skill set may
provide the focused training required to advance in a career pathway, without the need for a full qualification.

​

Who is eligible Under the General Training Pathway?
To access a subsidized training place under Career Boost, a student must meet the following criteria:
• aged 15 years or older;
• not be a school student;
• permanently reside in Queensland;
• be an Australian citizen, or Australian permanent resident (includes humanitarian entrant), or a temporary resident with the right visa and work permits on the pathway to permanent residency, or a New Zealand citizen;
• not already have a certificate IV or higher qualification (including tertiary qualification) completed within the last 10
years (qualifications completed as a school student and foundation skills qualifications do not count). Note: This eligibility requirement does not apply to individuals seeking to enroll in a skill set;
• not be enrolled in another qualification, even if it is on hold or deferred, whether funded by DTET or not (foundation skills qualifications do not count).
Along with the eligibility criteria above, specific entry restrictions or exemptions may apply to certain subsidized qualifications and skill sets. These are set by industry or sector requirements, as well as national training package guidelines.

​

APPRENTICESHIP / TRAINEESHIP PATHWAY

For apprenticeships and traineeships, an individual must be employed as an apprentice or trainee.

This pathway is part of the Australian Apprenticeships system and requires all parties to sign an Apprenticeship and Traineeship Training Contract (the Contract) as defined by the Further Education and Training Act 2014 (the Act).

The employer of an apprentice/trainee must provide or arrange to provide adequate facilities, range of work, supervision and on the-job training required by the Act and training plan.

The Supervising Registered Training Organisation (SRTO) is required to assess these employment arrangements, complete an Employer Resource Assessment and develop the training plan in consultation with the employer, apprentice and/or trainee to ensure compliance with the Act.

More information about apprenticeships and traineeships is available on the DTET website.

Please note an individual may complete either two apprenticeships/traineeships across the suite of core programs or two apprenticeships/traineeships under the entry level Career Start program only. However, the total number of subsidized apprenticeships/traineeships cannot exceed two within the 10-year period.

A student chooses their preferred training provider from a list of pre-approved RTOs, known as SAS. Only SAS approved to deliver the student’s chosen qualification and training pathway (including general, skill sets, apprenticeship or traineeship), can provide training and assessment services under Career Boost.

 

Who is eligible Under the General Training Pathway?

To be eligible to receive government subsidized training, the apprentice or trainee must:
• have entered into a Contract (training contract) for a qualification that is funded by DTET and be registered on DTET systems;
• if from overseas, have a visa allowing them to work in Australia; and
• not have already completed two apprenticeship/traineeship qualifications (including SATs) within the last 10 years.

Workplace Experience/Demonstration Requirements

As part of the completion of your qualification you will need to demonstrate your skills and knowledge in a workplace setting or simulated workplace setting.  This is an important part of the training and competency verification process. If you do not have a suitable workplace or access to a workplace or simulated environment (where appropriate)  for these practical requirements this will need to be discussed as part of your enrolment as some individual units have specific licensing and demonstrated industry knowledge and experience requirements that must be undertaken as part of your completion of these courses. Solutions may include access to alternate organisations, undertaking voluntary work with a suitable organisation or arranging a simulated environment with your assessor (where appropriate)
