Abstract	A study explored ways in which traineeship courses could be designed to include training in information technology. The skills and performance standards required of information technology training in the printing, tourism, banking, construction, and computer industries were identified. Next, the current provision of such training in Australia and the United Kingdom was compared, and the costs and benefits of the major options for providing information on technology training in Technical and Further Education (TAFE)-based courses were analyzed. It was determined that practical training in information technology should be included in the off-the-job component of all traineeships. Two across-industry traineeships should be developed in the electronic office and in computing and software. All programs developed should address core skills required for personal development and future employment, practice skills in common use over a wide range of occupations, and job-specific skills. Grants should be made available to fund inservice teacher training, purchase of basic information technology equipment, and first-year evaluation of all new training programs developed. (Appendixes include the project interview schedule and questionnaire and lists of organizations visited, information technology core skills in the Certificate of Prevocational Education and Youth Training Scheme in the United Kingdom, and skills and performance standards for potential traineeship jobs in the five aforementioned industries. A 63-item bibliography is also provided.) (MN)
