Access to apprentices and trainees for WA SMEs working on government projects in building and construction

Overview

The subsidy assists SMEs by providing them with access to apprentices and trainees through group training organisations (GTOs), and by covering the average estimated award wage paid to apprentices and trainees working in the building and construction sector in WA.

SMEs will engage with a GTO to become a host employer for apprentices and trainees, and gain access to workers you need for building and construction projects you are working on.

The GTO employs the apprentice or trainee and is able to guarantee consistent work for them, even if you are unable to host them for the duration of their apprenticeship or traineeship.

The subsidy is available to GTOs who are registered in WA, and who offer apprenticeships and traineeships in Priority Start qualifications.
