(3853 kb)New Apprenticeships Incentives Programme
In an attempt to encourage the skills-based training of employees, the Australian Government provides financial incentives to employers who take on and train a New Apprentice. New Apprenticeships Centres (or NACs) provide a free service to employers and New Apprentices, so if you want more information or assistance, you should contact a NAC in your council area. Contact details can be obtained by calling 1800 639 629 or visiting www.newapprenticeships.gov.au
While there are standard incentive rates, there are also special incentives that you may be interested in discussing with your local NAC representative. These include the following:
-
Women in Non-Traditional Trades
-
School-Based New Apprenticeships
-
Rural and Regional New Apprenticeships
-
Mature Aged Workers
-
Disabled New Apprentice Wage Support Programme
There also incentives for employing existing council staff as New Apprentices, and these also attract the additional special incentives listed above. It is definitely worth a call to your local NAC.
National Training Information Service
There are quite a few qualifications listed on the following pages, and there are numerous training providers currently registered to provide them. Because there is not enough space to mention every training provider, you can use the National Training Information Service (an online database of training information in vocational education and training) to find training providers other than those listed in this resource.
