Who is an Apprentice?
An apprentice is an employee who combines on- and off-the-job training to obtain a trade qualification, which typically takes 4 years to complete (competency-based training and progression, however, can help reduce the time spent in an apprenticeship).
All apprentices must have a formal training contract, which is signed by the apprentice and the employer through the nominated ANSP and registered with the state training authority. apprentices must attend a registered TAFE/Registered Training Organisation (RTO) or other agreed training provider to complete the required off-the-job training.
Your TAFE or RTO will, in conjunction with Impact Apprentices and the apprentice, prepare and sign a recognised training plan, and apprentices will be registered with Exemplar to complete their profiling cards
The Probationary Period
The probationary period stipulated in the Australian Apprenticeship Training Contract - which is set at three months - allows Impact Apprentices Pty Ltd to assess apprentices before taking them on permanently.
You may still be entitled to notice of termination under the relevant award, enterprise agreement, or National Employment Standards during the probationary period.
