Benefits for your business

How skilled workers can add value to your business

When you invest in skilled people, you’re investing in the future of your business.

Apprentices are an effective way to introduce knowledge, passion and ambition into your workforce, helping you respond to the evolving needs of your business and the industry.

Hundreds of training courses are subsidised by the Government of South Australia because they build skills and knowledge that are vital to the future of our state as we build our economy.

Employing a new apprentice or training your current staff can deliver real benefits to your business.

Apprenticeships are built on a foundation of training ‘on-the-job’. This presents a valuable opportunity to train staff with purpose: developing skills and knowledge in line with your business needs.
