What is a group training scheme?
SMYL's Group Training Scheme employs apprentices and trainees and then places them with 'host businesses', usually small to medium-sized enterprises.
This arrangement frees the host business from the burden of contracts, paperwork and payrolls, as well as providing a safety net for both the host business and the apprentice or trainee.
The host business gains the advantage of carefully selected apprentices and trainees without the worry of long-term employment contracts.
Staffing is flexible to help meet peak workloads and seasonal variations. The apprentice or trainee is fully supported along their path to complete their training, and gain a nationally recognised qualification.
What core services are provided?
The core activity of SMYL's Group Training Scheme is the management of the employment and training of apprentices and trainees, including:
- Recruiting and inducting the best people for the job
- Arranging and monitoring on and off-the-job training
- Acting as trouble-shooters for both the host business and apprentice or trainee
- Arranging rotations to broaden training opportunities
- Arranging alternate work placements when required
- Mentoring the apprentices and trainees
- Making sure everything goes smoothly
SMYL Community Services focuses on quality, but this is balanced by our commitment to helping people who are disadvantaged in the labour market to get into real jobs. We have been working effectively with labour market programs and case management services for many years.
