Find your future workforce

Develop the next generation of talent to your specific needs

Apprentices and trainees bring fresh perspective, new questions, and big ideas to your business. Eager to learn new skills, as well as the ins and outs of their chosen industry, these career seekers are receptive to being taught and mentored by long-term staff members, ensuring vital existing occupational and industry knowledge is preserved, and continuity of skills and transfer of knowledge is passed to future generations.

Attract, Retain, Develop

WPC Group has extensive experience developing customised recruitment and training programs and we will utilise our experience to implement a full-service, end-to-end recruitment process. Our team explore a vast array of candidate sourcing pathways including, but not limited to; established school and community connections, school expos and career fairs.

Why Have Apprentices or Trainees?

Control Your Costs

WPC Group receives support from both the State and Commonwealth Government, including grants and exemptions; for example payroll tax that you cannot receive directly. There are many hidden ‘on costs’ when recruiting and employing directly that can add up to another 30% on top of a base pay rate. WPC Group build all these factors into a flexible, fuss free workforce solution.
Manage Your Risks

Our workforce solution allows you to focus on managing your business. WPC Group understand that your staffing levels may change from time to time. Should you not require the apprentice or trainee or it simply didn’t work out, you can hand them back with the knowledge that WPC Group will endeavour to find them another placement. WPC Group also manage workcover and any claims that may arise.
Save Your Time

Some managers spend 80% of their time managing 20% of their people. Think about the time and money your company spends each year on recruitment, administration and payroll, let alone keeping up to date with complex awards and legislation. WPC Group can pass on efficiencies through economies of scale, saving you time and money.

Mentoring the next generation.
Better support means better results.

WPC Group’s mentorship model is the hallmark of our apprentice and trainee programs. Unlike more traditional supervisory management, mentoring creates a climate of support, guidance and teaching which boosts apprentice and trainee engagement and productivity.

Our mentors are carefully selected for their background in working with young people and students.

They meet regularly with apprentices and trainees to proactively detect and address potential sources of stress or disengagement.

Our mentors’ ability to be the ‘honest broker’ and act early to mitigate any transitional workplace issues has been proven to reduce the risk of attrition or sudden disengagement, making for a stabler, more reliable experience for your organisation and your apprentices.
