Our Social Impact
On average, 82% of our trainees successfully complete their traineeship compared to the national average of 56%. Approximately 88% of WorkVentures trainees completing their traineeships are offered full-time roles by their host employer.
Since 2008, our traineeship program has focused on inclusion and serving all young Australians. This includes:
Impactful Youth Employment
WorkVentures aims to create meaningful employment opportunities for young people. We believe our approach to trainees is unique. As a social enterprise and NFP, we focus on positive outcomes for our trainees and our host partners.
As a host employer, you will be assisting young people in an invaluable way. Businesses may value corporate social responsibility but are often time poor. WorkVentures offers support to ensure that your business is making social change through a seamless process. WorkVentures trainees are keen to learn and build a career to see success in their future.
How WorkVentures Can Help
Expand Your Talent Pool
Traineeship terms are typically 12-24 months. Rather than having a temporary staff member, you instead have ample time with your trainee to guide them with the option to keep them in the business beyond the traineeship.
A Simple Solution
You will be invoiced an all-inclusive fortnightly rate that includes: Trainee Award Wage, superannuation, payroll tax, worker’s compensation and leave loading.
Tailored to Suit Your Needs
You have the option to choose a trainee who is interested in completing a qualification relevant to your field.
Holistic Approach
WorkVentures remains the legal employer and manages payroll, regular check-ins, performance reviews, HR issues, and administration. You determine the qualification based on the skillset you require of a trainee to ensure your business needs are met.
No Recruitment Fees
Our services include advertising, sourcing, interviewing, and shortlisting candidates for your business, and we do not charge any additional fees for these services.
No Hidden Costs
At the completion of the traineeship, there are no hidden costs or recruitment placement fees to keep your trainee.
