Nearly $20 million will be allocated to a new pilot program designed to support Queensland Small and Family Businesses and their apprentices. The LNP has unveiled an Apprenticeship Support plan aimed at covering up to half the wages of apprentices. This initiative seeks to provide financial assistance, streamline regulatory requirements, and make it easier to secure apprentices. Initially, the program will be available to 2,000 apprentices employed by small and family businesses in the construction industry. Here's how it'll work: ➡️ 50% of apprentice wages covered for first and second-year apprentices ➡️ 25% of wages covered for third and fourth-year apprentices ➡️ Both during training block periods of four weeks, twice a year.

We know that support for apprentices can make a significant impact on their outcomes – yet, there is disparity amongst the support apprentices can access and this affects how they do, not only on their apprenticeship but beyond. Our mission at the Association of Apprentices is to right this and improve outcomes for all apprentices. 🔊 Our annual insight report showcases how we make this happen. And some major things here in terms of journey to parity: ⭐ Our members working in SMEs has increased from 14% to 24% ⭐ Over half of our members come from more deprived areas ⭐ We have launched the Post-Apprenticeship Recognition Scheme (PARS), a brand-new awards scheme, that in partnership with the The Chartered Institution for Further Education, sees completed apprentices recognised for the skills they have gained during their apprenticeship with an award and the right to use post nominals. A huge thank you to the organisations who partner with us to help reach more apprentices in the UK, and to the AoA team and all our members, including the brilliant Apprentice Council.
