Why hire an apprentice?How we help Is your business eligible?

Are you thinking about hiring an apprentice?

Hiring an apprentice can really benefit your business.

And when you hire an apprentice you may be eligible to receive incentives.

Apprenticeships are available in over 500 different jobs!

Why hire an apprentice?

This is a great opportunity to train someone in the work tasks and abilities you need specifically for your business.

Plus, your industry as a whole will benefit from new generations of young people learning to do the job properly and productively.

You’re investing in your business, while providing a young person with a valuable opportunity to gain skills and qualifications!

We help you for free

yourtown can give advice and help with recruiting, training and retaining a young person to an apprenticeship with your business.

We can assist with linkages to an Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (AASN) provider (who are funded by the Australian Government to provide support services to employers, apprentices and trainees).

In conjunction with an AASN provider, yourtown can support your business to:

find an apprentice and registered training organisation
enquire about your eligibility for incentives
investigate off-the-job-training options
