Employing a new Trainee or Apprentice – End of Financial Year

March 30, 2015

Employers, the end of the financial year (EOFY) can bring many things to the table for your business.  It can be an opportunity for change and growth. 

Your most important business asset is the people that work for you.  Have you found that the EOFY has brought the opportunity for new employees to join your business? You now finally get that extra helping hand that you’ve always needed? Why not employ a trainee or apprentice? You will be molding someone to fit your business whilst also providing them with valuable education and skills that suit your business needs.

But wait, you don’t have the time, knowledge or ability to handle a trainee or apprentice? Don’t want to deal with the hassles of Payroll, training providers and changes to wages and Government legislation? If this sounds like you, then Group Training is your answer.
