Hosting an Apprentice or Trainee

BUILD WORKFORCE CAPACITY & CAPABILITY WITHIN YOUR TEAM!

Hosting an apprentice through DGT Employment and Training is an investment in the future of your business.

It is a cost-effective way to reduce risk, build capacity and capability and grow your own workforce. You’ll be supported by the DGT team who are experts in recruiting, training and managing apprentices and trainees so that you can focus on running your business.

DGT employs the best apprentices and trainees and places them with businesses, who are the host employers, for all or part of the apprenticeship and/or traineeship.

Often known as “Group Training”, DGT is the legal employer, manages all the paperwork and organises all the training. Hosts are responsible for day-to-day supervision and passing on skills and experience to the apprentice or trainee through on-the-job training.

Apprenticeships and traineeships include carpentry, plumbing, tiling, automotive, engineering, civil construction, business, health and hospitality to name a few.

For more than 30 years, DGT has partnered with over 7000 host businesses to employ and support over 12,000 apprentices and trainees.

As a DGT host employer partner, we’ll save you significant time, money and resources, allowing you to focus on your core business and reduce your risk.

We also have a range of Host Employer Partner Rewards to make it even easier.

What is the difference between apprentices and trainees?

Apprenticeships are 3-4 years in duration and generally apply to traditional trades such as metal fabrication, mechanical, chefs, automotive, electrical and construction. When an apprenticeship is completed successfully, an apprentice becomes a qualified tradesperson.

Traineeships are a formal training arrangement that are generally 1-2 years in duration and apply to a variety of roles including business, office administration, hospitality, horticulture and more. Traineeships are available for people of all ages and when a traineeship is completed successfully, the trainee receives a Certificate 2, 3 or 4 in their chosen vocation.
