Risk-free, flexible, and streamlined, it's the easiest way to get the help you need, when you need it.
EGT recruit electrical apprentices throughout the year, sourcing employees who are motivated, enthusiastic, and committed, with the necessary aptitude for the electrical trade. All of our apprentices undertake a thorough induction with a focus on hand skills and safety, to ensure they are work ready before commencing work in your business.
Electrical Group Training can help you find the right apprentice for your business. We will do our best to match you with the apprentice that has the skills and aptitude to suit the work your business does and for how long you need them - whether that's for two weeks or four years. You can also specify what apprentice year level you prefer - from first year to fourth year.
When you no longer need an apprentice, you can provide us with the required notice and we will arrange a new host employer.
This is the easiest way to calculate your investment in an EGT apprentice. Please note, however, whilst all efforts are undertaken to provide an accurate representation of the potential investment you will need to make, this calculator is indicative only.
Host employers are usually small to medium size businesses that provide on-the-job training and experience. EGT also works with larger companies who utilise our services in industries such as mining, power, and development. EGT takes care of the paperwork, monitoring, off-the-job training, workers compensation, and performance management - so you can focus on your business.
EGT carefully monitor and support their apprentices throughout their apprenticeship, and assist host employers with any matter relating to the apprentice or host employer relationship. This includes managing any disciplinary issues or serious matters which may arise while you are hosting an EGT apprentice.
