The traineeship does not require previous tertiary education and has successfully facilitated placements for the first group of trainees across Unisys, AC3, CloudGo, and Thirdera.
ServiceNow has expanded its traineeship in partnership with TAFE NSW and MEGT, and the trio are also seeking new partners to host trainees and offer more paths into the IT industry for new talent.
Vicky Mazzeo, TAFE NSW Regional General Manager, said “we are proud to partner with ServiceNow to help deliver the right digital-ready skills and highly employable IT talent that the NSW workforce needs, with a fast-evolving technology landscape."
Eric Swift, Vice President and Managing Director, ANZ, ServiceNow said, “as organisations embrace the digital workflow revolution, the need for people with the right skills is growing. Many of Australia’s largest organisations are using the Now Platform to support their business transformation, so we’re seeing significant demand for ServiceNow skills in the market.”
“We are proud to help build Australia’s talent pool and support recruitment and staff retention while creating new paths to developing critical digital skills that will drive the future of Australia,” Swift said.
ServiceNow, TAFE NSW, and MEGT are seeking organisations to become host partners who will be able to source and access diverse talent for the traineeship. The trainees will undergo paid work placement four days each week through MEGT while attending TAFE NSW, to receive a Certificate IV in Information Technology. ServiceNow courses will be blended into the learning modules.
Service Line Solutions, a division of Thirdera, took on a trainee at the launch of the traineeship program. Uriah Jacobs, Managing Director APAC, Thirdera, said “the ServiceNow and MEGT traineeship was a fantastic way to tap into new talent and find new recruits for our team. Our trainee was incredibly valuable to the business, and we are excited to get more onboard through the scheme.”
“IT skills are desperately needed in every state and territory in Australia. We are proud to partner with ServiceNow and its NextGen Programme to help tackle the skills shortage and deliver more high-quality employment to candidates across the country,” said Marco Millalonco, National Account Manager, MEGT.
The next intake of the ServiceNow Traineeship Program will commence in October 2021 with 20 trainee positions available. Any technology organisations with ServiceNow practices are invited to register their interest by contacting the ServiceNow NextGen team at nextgen@servicenow.com.
