What is the Job Connect apprenticeship scholarship?
This scholarship rewards young people under the age of 25 who return to school to upgrade their education to meet the admission requirements for apprenticeship training. Scholarship candidates must complete their upgrading within one year, and if they successfully secure employment as a registered apprentice, they receive a $1,000 scholarship. The employer who hires them as a registered apprentice receives a $1,000 signing bonus, and if the apprentice continues to work for the same employer six months later, the employer received another $1,000.
