Being a Host Employer

Currently in Western Australia there are more than 80 types of apprenticeships and 400 types of traineeships available, so there is likely to be at least one to suit your business.

Trade apprenticeships are well known to many employers, and hosting an apprentice can not only make a positive contribution to your business but also increase the skilled labour pool for the future.

But have you considered your office staff, sales staff, perhaps warehousing? There are also fantastic traineeship options available for all these occupations and more.
