What benefits are there to employing a trainee?
Employing a Trainee is a way to enhance your workforce. It is also a cost effective way to develop workers that will better meet the future needs of your organisation and the recreation and sport industry.
Trainees are able to work in many areas, such as:
- administrative support
- activity leadership
- event management assistance and
- community participation support.
Traineeships are flexible. They can be tailored for full-time and part-time employment. Recreation and sport organisations can also access School-Based Traineeships which can be integrated into a student's SACE Certificate.
Employers of trainees and apprentices may also be eligible to receive further financial incentives from the Commonwealth Government.
