Why use Group Training?

There are a number of key benefits to using MEGT Group Training. We act as a one-stop apprenticeship and traineeship hire and management shop. There is a large amount of pastoral care involved in placing an apprentice or trainee with your business.

  • We make sure it is the right fit not only for skills needs, but also for your business' culture.

  • Large firms can often find handy financial advantages in not having their apprentice or trainee on their own payroll.

  • Small firms can rest assured we provide the mentoring and pastoral care involved in helping a young person make the transition from school to work.

  • And if there is any reason why the apprentice or trainee needs to move, or if they will benefit from wider experience, MEGT Group Training looks for another suitable host employer.

  • It's a safety net for your business. By not carrying the apprentice or trainee on your own payroll, you have the flexibility to adjust quickly to changing marketplace environments. 

  • REDUCED COST. We receive government grants and incentives and then apply them to reduce the cost to you – many of these are things that you cannot receive directly such as Payroll Tax exemptions and State Government funding.

  • The Employer KEEPs CONTROL! We will refer the best candidates available and let them decide which candidate best suits your business needs  

  • NO HASSLE HANDBACK. If business is slow or things just don’t work out, the employer can simply hand the trainee or apprentice back

  • NO MORE PAPERWORK. We maintain all employment, payroll and workers compensation records for you

  • You can keep the extra pair of hands you need to grow your business, and to train them the way you want from the ground up, without risk!

  • You pay them only when they are earning for you – we carry the load of any personal/annual leave or time at trade school.
