Why choose us when hosting an apprentice?

We undertake the employer responsibilities when hiring an apprentice and take care of the paperwork, including managing payroll, leave entitlements, superannuation, TAFE etc.

The employer only pays an hourly rate for when the apprentice/trainee is in the workplace. You do not pay for any time at ‘off-the-job’ training, leave or superannuation payment.

4 weeks annual leave
17.5% annual loading
Public holidays in accordance with award entitlements

What is involved for the host employer?

The key expectation from the host employer is that they provide good quality work experience to the apprentice/trainee that is relevant to the apprenticeship/traineeship. Host employers must ensure that the apprentice/trainee attends all off-the-job training. Host employers will also be responsible for signing the Apprentice’s time sheets for hours worked and paying the fortnightly MTA WA Training invoice. They must allow the Apprentice Field Officers access to the apprentice/trainee to discuss progress and notify MTA WA Training immediately of any incident.
