Young workers are being targeted in a recruitment drive to fill more than 250 public sector cadetship places across NSW.

More than 250 public sector cadetships for people under 25 years of age are being advertised under the State Government’s Jump Start youth employment and training program.

There are lots of opportunities for young people and school leavers weighing up their career options.

The NSW public sector cadetship program gives young workers the chance to earn while they learn, picking up valuable on-the-job skills and training in a supportive workplace environment.

These training positions are part of the commitment by Premier Nathan Rees to provide 6000 training places to young people over the next four years – 4000 apprenticeships and 2000 cadetships.

The Government has recruited over 300 cadets and 1000 apprentices already in 2009.

The positions being offered from today include nursing assistants, residential support workers, water supply operators, aboriginal field worker trainees and Information Technology officers.

Traineeships are also avialable in office and business administration across Government agencies as diverse as the Zoo to Railcorp, Tourism NSW and the Department of Education and Training.

Applicants are sought from across Greater Sydney from the Northern Beaches to Warragamba Dam and everywhere in between.

Positions are also being offered in regional communities including Tumut, Grafton, Tamworth, Dubbo, Bathurst and more.

Applications close in November so we’re encouraging people under 25 years of age to get in quick at www.jobs.nsw.gov.au
