Australian Apprenticeships Mentoring Program

Published on January 17th 2012 - Filed under: Funding

The Australian Apprenticeships Mentoring Program seeks to improve Australian Apprenticeship retention rates through the provision of approximately $80 million over four years to support targeted mentoring and assistance to Australian Apprentices. The Mentoring Program is targeted at industries and occupations with current or emerging skills need and Australian Apprentices who may face barriers to participation (e.g. Indigenous Apprentices or Apprentices in remote locations).

It is anticipated that Mentoring Projects will target support to the first year of training when Australian Apprentices are most at risk of withdrawing.

The Australian Apprenticeships Mentoring Program Guidelines have now been released and the Program is open to receive applications for funding.
