Turning potential into performance
Skills shortages are hitting businesses across industries - from construction and clean energy to care and services - making it harder for employers to grow and adapt.
MEGT makes it simple: we connect you with apprentices and trainees and give both you and them the support throughout their traineeship that they need to succeed, freeing you to focus on your business.
Time to unlock a $26 billion opportunity
Apprenticeship commencements have fallen 30% since 2014, and 32% of occupations are now in shortage.
The MEGT Productivity Prospectus, developed with Deloitte Access Economics, is a critical report into why apprenticeships and traineeships are essential for employers to meet their skill shortages. It shows that reversing the decline in commencements is vital—not just for Australia’s economy, but for every business needing skilled hands and future-ready teams. With the right support and investment, apprenticeships and traineeships can:
Deliver 320,000 additional completions
Unlock $11.8 billion in lifetime income for Australians
Provide $14.4 billion in broader economic benefits
In short: apprenticeships are the most direct way to secure the skills you need to build, grow, and compete.
