Free workshops on supervising apprentices and trainees
Training Services NSW offers free Supervising Your Apprentice or Trainee Workshops for employers and supervisors.
These workshops are ideal for those directly supervising apprentices or trainees (or thinking about employing one). They provide a four-hour lesson in skills, such as mentoring, working with different generations in the workplace, personality and learning styles, what you need to know about competency based training and the apprenticeship and traineeship system.
They also explain what employers should expect from the training provider, including negotiating training that works for you and your business, and what to consider in signing off on-the-job competency,
See upcoming workshops in the Hunter and Central Coast.
Please below workshops across the Mid North Coast and North Coast regions.

Selected schools are offering a two-day trade taster program for up to 15 Year 9-12 students, with the focus on year 10.
Industry involvement is actively encouraged in these programs so that students get an immersive and practical experience, and are made aware of local industry, careers and pathways.
If industry and employers have approximately 45 minutes to spare, their involvement can really make a difference.
The program is run by the Training Services NSW Regional Industry Education Partnerships, and is one of many that helps connect industry to schools.
