What we can do for you

So, you’ve decided to take on an apprentice or trainee. Fantastic! There are so many different benefits to be enjoyed by contractors and businesses, but there’s still a question of how best to handle the stress, time and paperwork that comes with the process. That’s where NECA Education and Careers can help. As one of the leading Group Training Organisation (GTOs) in Victoria and Tasmania, our team are perfectly placed to assist you in every step of the process, regardless of the industry you work in or the size of your business.

With extensive experience in managing apprentices and trainees in everything from the electrical sector to the world of IT, NECA Education and Careers can assist businesses from initial recruitment all the way through to ongoing management and support. Here’s what we can do for you.

Electrical Apprentice Management

Electrical apprentices are at the core of what we do here at NECA Education and Careers, and over our 25 years in the industry we’ve developed the skills and industry ties needed to ensure the apprenticeship process runs smoothly for employers and employees – from recruiting the right apprentice all the way through to payroll management. Because we are owned and operated by the electrical industry, we’re always up to date with the latest trends and regulations employers need to be aware of. In addition, our experience allows us to make sure that every apprentice we place is the perfect fit for a particular business.

Other Trade Apprentice Management

Outside of the electrical sector, our team is also able to assist with other trade apprentice management in Victoria and Tasmania. As with electrical apprentices, our expert team is able to assist businesses at every step of the process. By simply leasing an apprentice through NECA Education and Careers, rather than going through the entire recruitment and management process alone, contractors can eliminate the hassle that often comes with taking on an apprentice, instead focusing on the added benefits and employer incentives that come with apprentices.

Trainee Management

We also assist businesses with managing trainees. This is a slightly different process to apprenticeships, but still comes with a lot of paperwork that needs to be completed to a high standard. By simply leasing a trainee from NECA Education and Careers, businesses can rest easy knowing that every step of the process is being taken care of – allowing them to get on with the important business of working with and training their new employee.

Apprentice and trainee management:
Our process

Regardless of whether your organisation needs an electrical apprentice, somebody in another trade or a trainee, our process is designed to be as simple as possible, with a focus on the complex aspects of the process that can take up time for employers and negate some of the benefits of employing an apprentice or trainee. We want the experience to be as rewarding as possible for all parties, and here’s how we ensure that from beginning to end.

Tell us what you’re looking for: This is where everything starts. It’s vital for your apprentice or trainee to fit your needs on both a personal and professional level. We’ll take care of the time-consuming recruitment process for you, using your guidance and notes to make sure every candidate you end up seeing is an ideal fit.
We provide your apprentice or trainee: Once you’ve decided on the right person for your business, the apprentice or trainee will be leased to you from NECA Education and Careers. The only paperwork that you’ll have to worry about is a weekly invoice. We’ll take care of the rest!
Ongoing support: Aside from managing the paperwork and red tape, our team also provides ongoing support in the form of mentoring for apprentices and trainees, as well as workplace visits and advice to ensure everything’s running smoothly for everybody involved.
