Dont Miss Out - Act Now

What is the GTO Wage Subsidy

The Group Training Orgainisation Wage Subsidy (GWS) has been introduced in response to a State Government election commitment, to assist small to medium sized businesses in the building and construction industry and support the continued growth of Western Australia’s skilled workforce.

How it works

The wage subsidy is only available through a Group Training Organisation (GTO) like ATC Work Smart, giving small to medium sized businesses the benefits of having an apprentice or trainee without being the actual employer. Places are limited but the GWS is expected to assist businesses by providing access to approximately 300 apprentices and trainees employed through GTOs.  

 

ATC Work Smart work on your behalf by becoming the legal employer and taking care of HR, recruitment, payroll and training management, so you can just get on with running your business.

As the Host Employer you will approve a fortnightly time sheet and be responsible for supervising the work-based skills development, providing a safe working environment and releasing the Apprentice or Trainee from work duties so they can participate in off the job training if required.

What does the GWS cover?

Our team are different from the rest by providing regular visits to your workplace

and ongoing support and guidance.
