Hunter Region Apprenticeships Parliamentary Secretary for Employment Jason Clare announced late last week that 1008 new apprentices have been recruited in the Hunter, as a result of the Rudd Government’s Apprentice Kickstart program. The program has boosted the recruitment of traditional trade apprenticeships above pre-global recession levels in just one year. The program will now be extended until November 2010. Hunter employers are encouraged to take advantage of the extension of the program which triples the first year apprentice bonus to almost $5000. "Apprentice Kickstart has been so successful it smashed its original target of 21,000 with more than 24,000 young people starting an apprenticeship in the traditional trades last summer," Mr Clare said. "Here in the Hunter, Apprentice Kickstart has increased the number of young traditional trade apprentices recruited by almost 20 per cent. During the 1990s recession, apprenticeship commencements in key traditional trades fell by more than 30 per cent and it took 13 years to recruit the same number of apprentices again. Through Apprentice Kickstart we have done it in one year, rather than 13. But we still need more apprentices. That’s why we’re investing almost $80 million to support around 22,500 new apprenticeship places in traditional trades experiencing skills shortages.This funding will be targeted at helping small and medium businesses with fewer than 200 employees put on more apprentices."
