Mrs Sudmalis said “The aim of the Gilmore Apprenticeship challenge is to connect potential apprentices or trainees with employers, businesses and Apprenticeship Support Networks in Gilmore.” “The program will make sure there is more engagement with industry and employers and produce successful apprentices with more productive and rewarding careers. “The Coalition Government has invested to support Australian Apprenticeship arrangements through incentives, support loans and pilot programs to assist in delivering apprenticeships. “There is a wide range of assistance available to employers taking on apprentices and school-based apprentices and trade support loans available to apprentices,” said Mrs Sudmalis. The campaign will run until the end of June 2018. Who is MBC? MBC Employment Services has been a provider of Australian Government Employment Services since 1991.
