Clean Energy - Employer Benefits & Advantages
If you employ a New Energy Apprentice, you may be eligible for up to $15,000 in wage subsidies.
There are many hidden ‘on costs’ when recruiting and employing directly that can add up to another 30% on top of a base pay rate. NextGen Jobs builds in all these factors, plus offering additional value into a flexible, fuss free workforce solution that delivers an excellent return on investment.
Apprenticeship programs have been consistently shown to improve employment, retention and productivity outcomes for employers.
The effect has been proven across a number of sectors.
We have found that our model is very beneficial in trainee retention and essentially the “secret sauce” (82% retention rate rather than the industry traineeship completion rates of 50-55%).
With NextGen Jobs, Employers benefit from being able to customize the apprentices’ training program to the needs of their organization or workplace, which helps significantly with workplace efficiency and aligning training to address both short-term and long-term skills needs.
Our apprenticeship programs have been shown to improve an organisation’s:
workforce skill levels
workplace productivity
innovation and culture
employee loyalty and engagement
workforce retention
reduce workforce turnover
workforce breadth and diversity
