Benefits of hosting an EGT apprentice

  • Save money

You could save almost $10,000 over four years by using EGT apprentices versus going direct indentured, depending on your situation.

EGT pays for:

  • Superannuation
  • Workers compensation
  • Holiday and sick leave
  • Rostered days off
  • Personal protective equipment
  • Time at college

All you pay for is the hours the apprentice works for you (based on a 38 hour week). NECA WA Members also receive discounted rates!

  • Reduce your risk

EGT currently has 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th year apprentices available so you can choose the year level you need based on your project requirements. EGT apprentices are provided for the time that you need them, whether it’s two weeks or four years.

You will not have to pay for an apprentice if work slows down, just provide EGT with five working days’ notice to return your apprentice. Once work picks up, you can request another EGT apprentice to suit your needs.

  • Minimal paperwork

EGT takes the stress out of managing employees by performing recruitment, training, administration and payroll, monitoring apprentices and addressing grievances and discipline.

  • OSH Support

EGT hosts have access to safety consultants who can assist with implementing safety requirements to help you achieve compliance with legislation.
