• What support is offered?

  The most successful traineeships result from engaged host employers and supervisors who support their trainee’s development. We believe it is essential for host employers to take time to understand their Trainee and how they learn, which helps get the most out of the experience.

  As a host employer, you have a few essential responsibilities:

  • Provide a safe working environment
  • Provide meaningful work for your trainee to complete
  • Provide adequate supervision and guidance
  • Sign the fortnightly timesheets prepared by your trainee
  • Help develop and support your trainee throughout their traineeship
  • Support the trainee’s formal education
• What is the cost?

  Costs vary on when the Trainee completed high school and their qualification. For a recent school leaver, you can expect to pay per hour for the Trainee.

  Costs include salary, superannuation, education fees, WorkCover and our support staff.

  Host employers also receive incentive payments during the traineeship.
