ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ is here to support not only apprentices and trainees, but their host employers too. We understand that balancing work, training and personal lives can be difficult for some, especially if they are new to the workforce. These issues can also have an impact on employers.
That’s why we provide mentoring, pastoral care and coaching for yourself and others within your business. We can support you and offer advice, based upon our years of experience, about how to create an even better business by making the most of your apprentice or trainee experience.
ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥â€™s mentoring program is a confidential service. If your apprentice or trainee is facing issues either at work or at home that are impacting their apprenticeship or traineeship, get in touch with your dedicated ÃÛ½ÛÖ±²¥ Representative or call 13 6963.
