Partnership process

Our client agreements are guided by the principles of mutual economic benefit, transparency, responsibility, and reasonableness.

  • To recommend the most appropriate training and funding mix, our industry engagement team will learn about your operational environment, including specific technical processes and any regulatory requirements applicable to your sector, as well as your organisational goals, current challenges, skills gaps, learning and development budgets, relevant site locations, and potential training candidates.

  • Our team will review possible funding opportunities and present the best options for new and existing workers. As eligibility for government support is determined on an individual candidate basis, detailed estimates for government support and training fees do require some basic employee information, including:

    • Name,

    • Date of birth

    • Job start date

    • Employment type (e.g., part-time)

    • Highest prior qualification

    • Concession holder status

    • Citizenship status

  • Our team will provide a Service Level Agreement for your review and sign off before sending enrolment application links to your nominated candidates. Employees can register online, from any device. Our enrolment process include pre-training reviews to identify individual learning styles as well as language, literacy, and numeracy abilities, so training delivery can be tailored accordingly. We assist in liaising with the relevant Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (AASN) to complete any documentation required to receive government funding.

  • Training is scheduled at convenient times with workplace managers and may include:

    • Face-to-face, on-site learning

    • Remote / online learning

    • Workplace observations

    • In-person, over-the-phone, email & video conference support

    Nominated supervisors will have access to our online portal to track staff completion rates in real-time, view course progress, download training plans, and more. Custom reports can also be provided upon request.

  • After completion, graduates can receive credit towards higher qualifications, often with continued funding. Ensuring key employment milestones are not missed is critical to optimising entitlements.

Helping your team meet the standard

  • Training on-site in the workplace

  • Funded training opportunities Australia-wide for eligible employees

  • Supporting labs to mitigate compliance risk

Increasing Australia’s skilled workforce is a priority for both federal and state governments, and government support for businesses that invest in staff training is available for eligible employees.

In some instances, the costs of training may be exceeded by the available government support, and undertaking a staff development program can be a cost-neutral or cost-positive exercise depending on the employee group.

Eligibility for government support is calculated on a case-by-case basis for individual employees. We will liaise on behalf of the employer with the relevant Australian Apprenticeship Support Network provider to determine eligibility. Eligibility criteria apply and we cannot guarantee your business will qualify for government support.

Traineeship support for employers

This information is provided for general information only. For more information on currently applicable incentives and funding programs for employers, please refer to the following resources:

We access government incentives wherever possible to deliver lower cost accredited vocational education and training in job related and technical skills.

In addition to subsidised rates for certain qualifications, the Australian Government supports businesses to enrol new staff in traineeships through financial incentives and payroll tax exemptions and rebates. These benefits can be used to offset the cost of training for existing employees.

Further information

While payroll tax benefits and incentives are only applicable to eligible traineeships, subsidised rates may apply even if training is not delivered as a traineeship.

A traineeship is the time spent learning a job (or vocation) under a formal training contract with the employer.

In most cases, a new entrant / new worker traineeship involves an employee who has been with the company for less than three months full-time or 12 months part-time or casual.

In most cases, an existing worker traineeship includes an employee who has been with the company for more than three months full-time or 12 months part-time or casual.

Depending on the employee group, training can sometimes be undertaken as a cash-neutral or even cash-positive exercise. Eligibility for incentives is calculated on a case-by-case basis for individual employees. We will liaise on behalf of the employer with the relevant Australian Apprenticeship Support Network provider to determine eligibility.

To provide a detailed ROI estimate, we require the following information for all relevant employees:

  • Date of birth

  • Previous qualification/s

  • Date of completion for previous qualification/s

  • Gross annual salary

Eligibility criteria apply and we cannot guarantee your business will qualify for government benefits, including incentive payments and / or payroll tax exemptions or rebates.
