Building the South West Workforce: Busselton Apprenticeships & Traineeships Employer Forum

Apprenticeships and traineeships are often promoted as the answer to workforce shortages, but many employers are finding them harder to attract, manage and retain than ever before.

Join fellow South West employers for a practical discussion about what's working, what's not, and what support businesses need to successfully employ apprentices and trainees.

We'll discuss:

• GTO vs Direct Employment

• Working with Gen Z employees

• Apprentice attraction and retention

• Successful onboarding practices

• New incentive changes

• The support employers need most

Whether you've employed apprentices for years, tried once and stopped, or are considering it for the first time, this is an opportunity to share your experience, learn from others, and explore practical workforce solutions.
