Have you considered School Based Traineeships?

Are you looking for ways to save on employment costs while trying to maintain productivity? One of the ways Edge can help is through School Based Traineeships.

By offering a School Based Traineeship you will be providing valuable experience to someone with disability, injury, illness or a mental health condition who is nearing the end of their education. This will allow the young adult an entry pathway into employment and to complete a recognised qualification.

So why a School Based Traineeship?

• You will find a keen young employee before they finish school who can meet your current or future skill needs.
• Provide exposure to the trainee in their chosen industry.
• You can access training and disability funding through the Australian Government which our team can help with.
• The trainee will only need to work a minimum of eight hours per week.
• You have the ability to develop and shape the future of the trainee while they contribute to your business through part-time employment.

With a current labour shortage affecting businesses, and at a time when resources have been stretched, having access to a Job Coach is a game-changer for you as an employer. Each Edge client receives ongoing support from a dedicated Job Coach. This assistance is individualised and is provided for as long as the client and employer may require.

Edge has extensive experience in supporting businesses across Perth with School Based Traineeships. Some of the companies we have partnered with include Australia Post, Water Corporation and Programmed.
