Is there any financial help for apprentices during their training?
There are now incentives for first year apprentices such as a $500 first year financial incentive and a $800 tool allowance and scholarships if you take up an apprenticeship in a skill shortage trade. Employers may be paid an incentive allowance if they are willing to re-train their existing adult workers as apprentices. Apprentices and trainees may be eligible for a Living Away From Home Allowance in their first three years.
