Employers
Do you employ a mature aged person that may have completed some TAFE, or may have partially completed their apprenticeship then they may be eligible to be indentured as a mature aged apprentice and enrolled in the “Fast-Track” Apprentice Program.
Australia needs a skilled and knowledgeable workforce, capable of meeting the current and future demands of industry. One way to achieve this is to encourage greater participation in apprenticeships by removing time-based restrictions on qualifications.
The Fast-Track Apprenticeships Program provides opportunities for apprentices to achieve their qualifications earlier by becoming competent in a shorter time. Employers and apprentices will benefit from this initiative – employers because they will have a more highly skilled workforce, and apprentices, who will be able to complete their apprenticeships when they are competent, rather than when they have served the time deemed necessary to complete the qualification.
Apprentices and employers involved in Fast-Track Apprenticeships activities can apply for Australian Apprenticeships incentives for which they are eligible. For more information go to: http://www.australianapprenticeships.gov.au/Australian_Apprentice/
Why should I employ an Australian Apprentice?
Australian Apprenticeships provide a range of benefits for your business.
- People trained to your business requirements.
- Flexible choice of Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) who can provide off-the-job training to your Australian Apprentice, with negotiations around timing, location and nature of the training to suit your business needs.
- A range of financial incentives for eligible employers.
- Can be full-time, part-time or school-based, depending on what suits your business.
- Nationally recognised qualifications and competencies.
