Apprenticeship programs, such as those delivered by motor trade
associations across Australia, are already held accountable via
national industry standards, with an independent audit process
conducted by specific state and territory providers.
GTOs do not have the same operating memorandum as a labour
hire business and as such have been regulated efficiently through
national GTO standards that shape GTO ethos.
It is important to note employer association-led apprenticeship
programs coordinate an essential link between business and youth
in Australia.
They also facilitate the development of the employment skills
needed by industry to grow into the future. Additional regulation,
by way of a NLHLS, is unnecessary, and burdensome.
