How to support your trainee or apprentice?

Most apprentices and trainees start with limited work experience and may have different perspectives to you. The more support you provide them, the more value they can add to your business. Read on for detailed information or simply enquire now using the button below.

Apprenticeships and Traineeships
How to mentor a new trainee in your workplace?
Apprenticeships and traineeships are a fantastic way to start your career while gaining a nationally recognised qualification. Designed for entry-level positions, in most cases, as an apprentice or trainee you do not need prior work experience.  

Prior to the Trainees first day

On the Trainees first day

  • Advise the apprentice what they should wear and if they need any work, health and safety gear 
  • Tell them where to meet you and when, as well as who to report to when they arrive
  • Ask in advance if they need to provide you with any of their information for payroll
  • Ask them to bring any forms such as proof of citizenship or their driver's license if required
  • Communicate your expectations upfront, including around company rules and Work Health and Safety.
  • Welcome them to the team by introducing them and make sure they know who to go to if they need help.
  • Don't forget to give them positive feedback. There's a good chance they're feeling overwhelmed, so it's important to point out what they're doing right.
  • Understand that trainees may make mistakes as they develop their skills at work and training.

How to Supervise?

Provide Mentoring

  • Demonstrate tasks and explain how they need to be done
  • Help the trainee or apprentice improve, by watching them practice tasks and correcting mistakes
  • Monitor progress of training in relation to the training plan
  • Mentor the employee and help them feel comfortable in your organisation
  • Provide constructive feedback in relation to work and training goals
  • Training is a team effort between the employer and Venture Education. Asking your apprentice about how their training is going is a good way to check in on them and it can help you identify any gaps in their learning.
  • You can also keep in touch with Venture Education and check with trainers to see if the trainee needs more support. 
  • As an employer, you are required to make sure that your trainee is attending training.
