experience while earning a wage. Traineeships are usually in non-trade related areas and last for 12 months or more.

previous qualifications.

– Your staff can gain a valuable qualification that benefits both them and your organisation, without spending
hours away in a classroom.

What Next?
Employers make the initial phone call and application for the traineeship on behalf of the employee. Once initial discussions are complete, the employer and employee mutally agree to enter into a training contract and complete a training plan with Scope Training, the Registered Training Organisation.
As the employer you will need to contact an Apprenticeship Network Provider to complete the application and nominate Scope Training as the training provider.
Western Australian Providers:
– MEGT (Australia) Ltd
– Chambers Apprenticeship Support Australia Pty Limited
– AMA Services (WA) Pty Ltd
– The BUSY Group Ltd
If you have not previously contacted a provider (as above), Scope staff can point you in the right direction. The
Apprenticeship Network Provider consultant will organise a time to have the paperwork signed with both you and your employee. Once the paperwork is lodged, Scope will assign a trainer and commence the training. Our training includes access to online resources and ongoing support via phone, email, or if staff are Perth based, face to face meetings.
Payroll Exemption
For each eligible employee on a Traineeship in Western Australia, the organisation could potentially exclude that
employee’s wage from Payroll Tax (5.5%) for the full duration of the training (for up to 2 years).
This effectively pays for the training and can potentially save your organisation thousands of dollars.
Example
For an employee earning $60,000, and based on the Payroll Tax in Western Australia of 5.5%, your business could save $3,300 in Payroll Tax Exemptions for each year that the trainee undertakes the Traineeship.
