$100 Million Apprentice Employment Incentive
A TIMELY AND TARGETED BOOST
Group Training Australia welcomed the announcement by the Deputy Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, and the Minister for Employment Participation, Senator Mark Arbib, of $100 million to help stimulate demand for apprentice employment over the peak recruitment period. GTA Chief Executive Officer, Jim Barron, said the package will provide important up-front funding to employers to help them take on and retain apprentices at a time of difficult economic conditions for many in the traditional trades. We wholeheartedly support these measures which come at the critical recruitment period when young people and employers are considering options for apprenticeships.
