Ergon Energy has begun its search for apprentices to start work in 2016.
Chief Executive Ian McLeod said Ergon was calling for expressions of interest across all of its depots in regional Queensland.
Mr McLeod said 61 apprentices were taken on this year, and next year’s intake would be larger.
“Our apprenticeships are mostly offered to local people so they can develop their skills while remaining in the community with their family and friends,” Mr McLeod said.
He said the apprenticeships were a great opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to learn an in-demand trade.
“Each year we employ a mix of school-leavers, mature age applicants, people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent and we have a strong focus on female candidates,” he said.
Apprenticeships are available in a range of trades: communications technician, distribution linesperson, transmission linesperson, mechanical fitter and electrotechnology electrician.
Several apprenticeships will be offered in conjunction with Diploma or Associate Degree courses.
Expressions of interest close on August 16.
