Master Plumbers WA - Group Training

Benefits of Group Training

We believe there are many benefits to Group Training managing your apprentice, and/or obtaining an apprentice through our scheme. The quality of our apprentices is assured through effective screening and recruitment. This includes an extensive interview process, pre-apprentice reports, reference checking, work experience reports, and overall attitude.

We offer a large selection of apprentices at different experience levels; 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th year apprentices. We aim to provide you with the right apprentice for your specific needs and wants.

Let MPA Skills manage your apprentice for you!

Administration

Think about how much time is spent on administration per apprentice over the period of one week. Then consider how much you charge for your time on an hourly basis! Your time and energy can be better spent elsewhere, rather than in the office doing administration.

MPA Skills will alleviate your weekly paperwork by dealing with:

• Apprentice weekly pay
• Superannuation
• Worker compensation
• Insurances
• Sick leave, annual leave and holiday pay
• Long service leave
• IR issues – pay rates & award changes
• Pay as you go – Withholding tax

Apprentice Issues

MPA Skills endeavors to eliminate the liability of employing an apprentice. Let us take the risk for you. We deal with:

• Legislation and Government ruling changes
• Unfair dismissal laws / probation
• New fair work laws and award changes
• Unions
• Personality clashes / may not be suitable for your business
• Pastoral care (provided by Field Officers)
• ApprentiCentre
• All training records now required by your RTO

The industry and its constant changes are hard to keep up with, so let us read up on Legislative and Govt/Award changes, and we can keep you informed of the changes that affect you and your apprentice.

Increased Productivity

Our aim is to help you increase the growth and productivity of your business.
We have the ability to provide you with ‘continuous’ apprentices throughout the year instead of losing them to tech or annual leave, therefore no downtime expenses. This allows you the ability to structure your workforce to suit your workload.

You do not have to commit to having an apprentice for the full 4 year term.

Apprentices are work ready, and are issued with:

• Tools
• Uniforms
• PPE kits
• Safety Boots
• Current Bluecard / Whitecard
• Current Workplace First Aid Certificate
• Restricted Gas Licenses

All the apprentices that are employed through MPA Skills have completed a pre-apprenticeship course (completed Stage 1 & 2 technical training), therefore do not have to attend tech within the 1st year of their apprenticeship.

The majority of our apprentices attend MPA Skills RTO, where all performance and skills assessments are carried out by qualified Industry trainers.

You will receive continuous support from our Field Officers in your day to day dealings with your apprentice.
