What does an Apprentice Connect Provider do and how do I find one?

Apprentice Connect Providers (Providers), formerly known as Apprenticeship Network Providers, are contracted by the Australian Government to provide information, advice and support to employers, apprentices and trainees about apprenticeships and traineeships. They assist with the sign up of training contracts, as well as assess, approve and process the payment of Australian Government incentives.

They provide a free service to all employers, apprentices and trainees to:

• Complete and lodge the training contract.
• Determine eligibility for Australian Government incentives.
• Process Australian Government incentive payments to employers, apprentices and trainees (where applicable).
• Provide advice to employers, apprentices and trainees on qualifications available and who may be available to deliver your training.
• Monitor the progress of your apprenticeship or traineeship.
