Employing an apprentice offers many benefits to businesses of all sizes.
Some benefits include:
At SYC, we set apprentices up for success by conducting initial assessments and match supports to individual needs. This enables us to provide tailored support to apprentices who face additional barriers throughout their apprenticeship.
Our personalised approach guarantees that apprentices are supported throughout their apprenticeship, helping them overcome challenges and achieve success.
An Australian Apprenticeship, also incorporating traineeships, opens a unique learning pathway that integrates paid on-the-job training and formal (off-job-learnings) study with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). This comprehensive approach not only provides practical skills but also leads to attaining a nationally recognised qualification.
Completing an apprenticeship or traineeship equips individuals with a blend of practical skills and formal education, offering a compelling edge in the job market. This combination of hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge is highly valued by employers across diverse industries and professions. One of the key advantages of undertaking an Australian Apprenticeship is the support provided by the Australian government. This includes funding and other benefits aimed at assisting apprentices and trainees with the costs incurred during their training, making it a more accessible and financially viable option.
