Upskilling or Training for new apprentices
Just a bit of an idea about the type of work to apply for, this part of Seek shows the various pay differences to train for but personally I believe IT is far too over-rated as too many people doing it so the pay should drop a lot but I guess IT people lie to keep their high pay.

-
15.9% ... It is complicated
