AVTES has been delivering apprenticeships and traineeships in Hospitality, Retail and Business for the past 10 years.  Recognised as experts in
on-the -job training, our flexibility to accommodate individual and enterprise needs means we can help you achieve your training goals. 

No matter what business you are in, there is potentially an Australian Apprenticeship to suit your needs.  Australian Apprenticeships include
traineeships and apprenticeships.  There are two distinct schemes, they are New Entrant and Existing Employee. 

The New Entrant is defined as somebody who has worked for your organisation for less than 12 months part time, or less than 3 months full time.
The Existing Employee is defined as somebody who has worked for your organisation for more than 12 months part time, or more than 3 months full time. 

Employers and apprentices enter into a formal agreement which is registered with the State Training Authority. An Australian Apprenticeship
Centre performs the sign up, monitors the incentives and assists with employment related issues. For a list of Australian Apprenticeship
Centre's visit our Information for Students or Information for Employers pages or visit http://www.australianapprenticeships.gov.au/search/aacsearch.asp.
A Registered Training Organisation such as AVTES provides the training program. 

Where eligible, these programs are funded by the Victorian Government funded.  If the employee meets the criteria the Commonwealth will pay an incentive to the employer taking on the new trainee or apprentice.  Employers also gain work cover exemptions for eligible trainees and apprentices.  There is also assistance available for apprentices in skill shortage areas and those undertaking  a mature age apprenticeship.  Visit http://www.australianapprenticeships.gov.au for more information.
