Traineeships provide a cost effective, flexible, focused and nationally recognised mode of learning, which is relevant to the workplace and offers many benefits to individuals and employers.

Benefits for the employer:

• Up-skill employees to meet business needs
• Receive government incentives
• Promote employee loyalty
• Provide opportunity for employees to mentor others
• Increase workplace productivity

Benefits for the trainee:

• Achieve a nationally accredited qualification
• Learn valuable and relevant workplace skills
• Receive comprehensive training
• Flexible study options to suit learning needs
• Increase employee knowledge and capability

Trainees may be eligible to attract government funding, offsetting the costs of the training. PTS can put you in touch with an Australian Apprenticeship Centre who can advise whether the trainee’s employer will receive Commonwealth incentives. State funding may also be available to subsidise the cost of training and assessment for new entrant trainees.
