try www.newapprenticeships.gov.au, they have lots of useful information regarding apprenticeships, including how to go about finding one.

Im planning to do Real Estate Property Management apprenticeship/traineeship thanks to Bimbo i think Real Estate is "GREAT" i can eventually open my own agency as i save up $$ and my parents are also financing me however, i will be attending Uni to get my degree, afterwards because Uni degree always stands out, but this is few years down the track, i've got my long term focus set, hope it works out

generally, it is up to you to approach an employer and ask for an apprenticeship/traineeship. Many people gain positions with employers who never even advertised. They don't all advertise on job search see the New Apprenticeships site in my post above for more info...

yeah, but don't you feel nervous when you decide to take a traineeship with a company, like don't you feel nervous you may underperform etc.. etc...

What are some strategies to overcome this barrier

On the job search site there are a couple every now and than but 80% of the IT job market is hidden.

Most people feel nervous when they start ANY new job, not just traineeships You will start becoming more confident as time progresses, as you will be learning more skills and being given more responsibility. Being nervous is just natural, and even if you do make a few mistakes (provided they aren't HUGE mistakes ), don't worry. And remember that your employers once started in a similar position to you, as a junior, so they do understand what it's like to be new
