Good news for current high school students who would rather get an apprenticeship after school than go to Uni.
Thanks to a new skills package announced in the 2019 budget there will be:
- Up to 80,000 new apprenticeships will be created
- Incentive payments for employers to will double to $8000 per apprenticeship placement
- Apprentices will receive a new $1000 payment after the first 12 months and another $1000 at completion to encourage them to stick with their training.
