Students & Early Careers
Start here, go anywhere. Discover learning without limits. Gain hands-on learning with the very best people and products. If you've got the drive, we'll help you get where you're going.
School-Based Traineeships
Backing young talent is what we do best – and we've done it for over 20 years. Through our partnership with Murray Mallee Training Company, Reece's commitment to Australian School-based Apprenticeships gives students hands-on experience that kick-starts amazing careers – more often than not, with us.
The details
As part of our 18 to 24-month ASbA program, trainees mix regular high school days with a paid part-time job in a Reece branch. Earn a nationally-credited certificate, credit towards completing Year 12 and money? That's a win-win.
The program is open to Australian secondary school students only. Speak with your school's career advisor or VET coordinator for more information. You need to be 15 or over and enrolled in school to apply.
Grow your own way
Get hands-on experience and gain a recognised qualification while working alongside our team and directly with our trade customers. There are two certificate choices available at Reece.
