How does the Master Builders Apprenticeship Services Work?

Master Builders employs apprentices and trainees, and places them with tradespeople and builders known as Host Employers.  The apprentice or trainee receive their on-the-job training for their apprenticeship or traineeship with the Host Employer and attend a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) for their off-the-job training.

  • The recruitment of apprentices and trainees.
  • Ensuring apprentices and trainees are placed with a suitable Host Employer.
  • Providing a safe working environment for the apprentices and trainees it employs
  • Assisting with the arrangements for off-the-job training with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and assisting with the completion of training plans.
  • Monitoring and providing support to both the apprentice/trainee and the Host Employer.
  • Paying wages, allowances superannuation, insurance, and other employee entitlements.
  • Managing the administrative and contractual arrangements and paperwork of the apprenticeship or traineeship.
