WHY CHOOSE US

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.

We cover the following:

• 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.

"We recruit apprentices through the MTA WA and have done so for well over 10 years. When we’re due to take on an apprentice, we give the MTA WA a call and they’ll do the initial screening. We’ll then be sent one, two or three apprentices that our MTA training representative thinks is suitable for our business. Immediately that saves us time, and we have a choice of candidates’ hand-selected for our business.”
