-
training.com.au
gives a comprehensive overview of the benefits of training. It includes
information on apprenticeships/traineeships and training organisations, as
well as a handy calculator that estimates the potential return on your
training investment.
-
Australian
Apprenticeships
details how training an apprentice/trainee works, the benefits for your
business, and where to get more information.
- Supervision is a key element of the training contract* between an employer and apprentice/trainee and is extremely important in enabling the apprentice/trainee to become competent in all areas of their workplace based training. This can be seen in the Supervision Guidelines for Apprentices and Trainees. (Word - 71Kb)
