How to start an Apprentice

Starting an Apprentice is as easy as making a phone call.

One of our Field Representatives will note to your special requirements, find & shortlist suitable candidates and organise a training plan, which is tailored to suit your circumstances.

Apprenticeships are a cost effective way to staff your business for the future, whilst helping someone to become a productive and qualified employee.

Where is the training done?

This depends on the Apprenticeship. A lot of the skills are taught in the day to day tasks performed in the workplace. When required, off-the-job training is done at a TAFE college or a recognised training organisation.

There are approximately 1000 hours of training in total required to complete an Apprenticeship. Training requirements differ between various trades. An Acclaim industry specialist will inform you of the current requirements.

What is the cost to you?

Please refer to the Weekly Wages and On-Costs Caculation Sheet for current figures. Remember that Acclaim is a not-for-profit organisation, however we charge a minimal annual fee for administration costs. This cost is already calculated in the On-Costs.

Acclaim pays the Apprentice when they are on: Annual Leave (including Loading), Public Holidays, Block Release and Sick Leave. We also pay the Superannuation, Work Cover and Tool Allowance. These entitlements are collected through On-Costs.
