The Motor Trade Association is excited to announce a significant surge of eager young individuals from Southern Adelaide and the Adelaide Hills, all keen to launch their careers in the automotive sector, specifically in light and heavy vehicle trades, with many open to dual-trade apprenticeships. The MTA’s primary goal is to facilitate their swift entry into apprenticeships, ensuring a steady stream of passionate and skilled apprentices for the industry.
For businesses contemplating taking on an apprentice, the benefits are compelling. Hosting an apprentice through the MTA Training & Employment program offers considerable value; the full cost is tax-deductible, eliminating recruitment expenses and significantly reducing administrative burden. The program also provides exceptional flexibility, allowing businesses to return an apprentice to MTA Training & Employment if unforeseen circumstances, such as a downturn in work, arise.
Furthermore, businesses gain peace of mind knowing that MTA Training & Employment apprentices possess a genuine interest in the automotive industry. Host employers receive dedicated support from an Apprentice Employment Officer, who provides regular on-site visits and is available on call. Crucially, the MTA Group Training Scheme acts as the legal employer, managing all associated responsibilities including WorkCover, superannuation, leave, wages, payroll tax, training fees, and tool allowances. This comprehensive support structure makes hosting an apprentice an attractive and streamlined option for automotive businesses looking to invest in the future of their workforce.
