Employers

Australian Government incentives are available to eligible employees and employers. Employers hiring an Australian apprentice may be eligible for a range of Australian Government and State incentives. These incentives encourage employers to offer employment-based training opportunities that will encourage people to acquire and expand their working skills. Traineeship programs are funded by Skills Victoria to deliver training through private registered training organisations (RTOs) such as Diversitat.

For funding information go to the Australian Apprenticeships Incentives Program Summary. Diversitat Training helps all of our clients set up their appropriate funding, traineeship programs and delivery.
