We believe this program is not only a benefit to the employer, sponsor apprentice and their families but also a huge benefit to the community and all industries. The Trust will encourage apprentices to become fully qualified, which in turn helps lessen the major shortage of qualified tradesmen. The trust also reduces the risk of head hunting and tradesmen leaving the country for greener grasses overseas, instead encouraging loyalty to the employer.
