How it works

  • 1. We recruit. Master Builders finds, screens and places the right apprentice for your business, with no advertising costs to you.
  • 2. You host. The apprentice works on your sites and you provide the on-the-job training. We handle the rest.
  • 3. We support. Dedicated Master Builders field officers support both you and the apprentice, and compliance is handled for you.
  • 4. You get paid. Quarterly payments credited to your MBAS account as long as your apprentice is active. No invoicing required.

What You need to know

  • There is no lock-in. If an apprentice leaves, payments simply stop. Nothing is owed and nothing is clawed back.
  • Apprentices receive direct support from Master Builders, including tools, licensing and cost-of-living assistance, which reduces the pressure on you.
  • Master Builders manages all training administration, compliance and registration on your behalf.
  • Apprentices who complete can transition straight into your permanent workforce, trained to your standards.
