Twenty three year old Charlotte “Charlee” Chaplin is living proof that you’re never too old to change careers and follow your dreams into a vocation you are passionate about. The former barista and housekeeper always had it in the back of her mind that she wanted to be a painter since she left high school.
For business owners, who are often stuck between the micro issues of their staff and the macro concerns of the clients and the broader industry, there is much at stake when it comes to taking on apprentices. Apprentices are the obvious future.
A new partnership between the RSPCA and BUSY At Work is set to provide some exciting work opportunities for job seekers wanting to gain a start in the hospitality industry.
Hiring an apprentice or trainee can often seem like a complicated process, one that your business doesn’t have the time or resources to figure out. Luckily here at BUSY At Work we know how valuable taking on an apprentice or trainee can be for your business, and we want to make the process as easy as possible.
Managing Director, BUSY At Work Paul Miles said it was encouraging to see business confidence build but was concerned about the momentum of part time job growth.
“Each month we have seen a pattern of continual growth in part time jobs rather than full time jobs.
“This creates under-employment, meaning while people may be employed, they are not getting enough hours in their job to get ahead and therefore are simply living week to week and in many cases going backwards.
“This is not sustainable, and I urge all Queensland businesses to consider taking on an apprentice or trainee now.
It may have taken longer than she expected but 21 year old Jayden Pashley is proud that she is now only a few months away from completing her industrial spray painting apprenticeship with local Bundaberg business, Bundy Auto Panels.
“The BUSY RSCPA Traineeships project was part of that of that latest round, with $118,700 committed to employ six people onto paid Work Skills Traineeships, where they will gain hands on experience at the Black Cat Café while also studying for a Certificate I in Hospitality.”
Gold Coast based organisation BUSY At Work has helped to combat the challenge of youth unemployment on the Gold Coast by unleashing an army of 111 apprentices and trainees into the workforce.
Apprentices and trainees are an extremely valuable asset in our constantly changing workforce, and we need to acknowledge that hiring them is a long-term business investment. Simply put, hiring apprentices may help your bottom line.
