Employing a Trainee

A traineeship is a structured training and paid employment arrangement that involves a contract between the employer, the government and the trainee. Apprentices and trainees are employed under a government-approved training agreement, which is a legal commitment. Employers of trainees are required to allow time from normal day-to-day tasks to participate in set training sessions and course work. The employer may be responsible for additional tuition fees due to the funding levels payable to training organisations.

Employer Responsibilities

• Provide workplace duties and tasks suitable to support the students training
