Hiring Tips
There are key points you need to consider when deciding whether you want an apprentice or trainee:
- Can the business meet the costs of employing an apprentice/trainee for up to 4 years?
- Is the business able to provide the level of supervision required?
- Is the business able to meet the training obligations associated with an apprenticeship/traineeship?
- Does the business have the capacity to pay wages and on-costs in good and lean times?
- Are you able to provide a safe working environment?
When advertising for an apprentice, does your advertisement describe:
- the industry sector;
- its fit in the Australian or local economy;
- the products your firm makes;
- the job role, and
- any career-building opportunities for the potential applicant.
