Council is looking to support a new generation of local team members via new apprenticeships and traineeships.


Age, gender and experience are no barrier to anyone wanting to apply for an apprenticeship or traineeship hosted with Cassowary Coast Regional Council with a strong focus on finding the right person for the job.


In the fields of Diesel Fitting, Community Services, Work Health and Safety and Business, TORGAS has recently advertised on behalf of Council for two apprentice and six trainee positions.


Cassowary Coast Regional Council Mayor Mark Nolan said this is a fantastic opportunity to learn about different areas of Council, make a positive difference to the region in which we live and gain a qualification. You’ll work on a range of projects that will allow you to grow your knowledge, skills and confidence and demonstrate real results that benefit our communities.


“It’s great to give back to your community, there is a lot of satisfaction in a career in local government, you feel like you are making a meaningful difference and there is opportunity for advancement.


“Our previous and current trainees and apprentices have brought a great deal to Council and have had a real impact on the services they have worked in. I’m looking forward to welcoming our 2022 apprentices and trainees.”


Positions available:
•    Apprentice Diesel Fitter x two (2) (Innisfail and Tully)
•    Community Services Trainee (Innisfail)
•    Work Health & Safety Trainee (Innisfail)
•    Business Traineeships x four (4) 


The business trainees will work in Council’s administrative functions across the region.


This training is proudly funded by the Queensland Government through its First Start program under the Skilling Queenslanders for Work initiative.
