What is Group Training?

Group Training Organisations employ Apprentices and Trainees and place them with a host business for as long as you need them.  They take care of all the paperwork and administration involved in having an Apprentice or Trainee.

What are the benefits to my business?

Group Training Organisations make it as simple as possible for businesses to employ Apprentices and Trainees.  Here are just some of the benefits that help save you time and money!

• Recruitment - All advertising, screening, reference checks of suitable candidates are done for you on your behalf
• Paperwork - Administration is taken care of...apprentice registration, off-the-job training (TAFE), payroll paperwork etc..
• A Weekly Invoice is all you pay - Wages, tax, allowances, superannuation, leave entitlements, Group Certificates, TAFE fees, sick and annual leave, public holidays is ALL taken care of!
• Support - Consultants carry our regular workplace monitoring visits, pastoral care of the apprentices and trainees and make sure the hosts are happy
