What <\/span>is <\/span><\/i>a <\/span>Cadetship<\/span>?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

In simple terms, a <\/span>cadetship<\/span> is a partnership between an employer, their employee and an education or training provider. The best part about this model of employment is that it enables you to complete formal studies while still being employed (and gaining valuable hands-on experience). It doesn\u2019t get much better than that!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cadetship vs. Internship<\/span>: What\u2019s the Difference?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

While <\/span>cadetship programs<\/span> and internships may seem similar at first glance, there are some pretty crucial differences between the two. Namely, <\/span>cadetships<\/span> are usually for employees working towards a qualification while in paid employment,\u00a0 whereas, with internships, you\u2019ll generally be gaining\u00a0 paid work experience over your university break as a requirement to complete your degree.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, <\/span>cadetships<\/span> are a little lengthier, often going for several years or so. This allows enough time for you to complete any related qualifications while you\u2019re still in the program.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How Do I Qualify for <\/span>Cadetship Programs<\/span>?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The qualification criteria for each <\/span>cadetship<\/span> varies slightly. This means that if you\u2019re dreaming of landing a particular <\/span>cadetship program<\/span> opportunity, the sooner you start planning for it, the better! That way, you\u2019ll have all the necessary qualifications before it\u2019s time to apply.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
