E n c o u r a g i n g sma r t a n d f r e s h i d e a s Traineeships and jobs at Western Sydney Airport

Building Western Sydney International has already created many jobs and is anticipated to create thousands more as construction progresses and the airport prepares to officially open in late 2026. Western Sydney Airport is committed to at least 30 per cent of construction jobs going to people who live in Western Sydney. This figure increases to at least 50 per cent of all jobs when Western Sydney International opens. We also guarantee at least 20 per cent of jobs for apprentices, trainees and other learning workers. We’re proud to be exceeding each of these targets. Currently more than 50 percent of people working on Western Sydney International are locals. Our traineeship programs are up and running, whilst our internship programs and university programs are currently being developed.

Zelcio IT Trainee

Zelcio has always loved computers and technology but wasn’t really sure what specifically he wanted from a career in IT. Last year, in Year 12, Zelcio’s careers advisor sent out an email about the traineeship opportunities available at WSA. “It was then that I realised that I could have a future in cyber security” Zelcio said. “It will be quite a cool thing to be capable of protecting Australia.”
