More than double the benefits to your business - take on two apprentices

There’s nothing stopping you from taking on 2 (or more) apprentices.

You’ll still receive the Federal Government grant and the ABBTF financial assistance for each bricklaying apprentice you take on (for example if you took on two apprentices you could receive $8,000 for each apprentice).

Plus you’d have all the advantages that come with hiring and mentoring an apprentice, but with double the benefit - in fact even more so.

That’s because there’s an enhanced efficiency created when you have two apprentices. You can rotate their jobs to break up any monotony – thereby allowing them to try something different from time to time while improving their learning curve. You can also alternate their trade school days, so you always have one apprentice on hand to help you onsite - while the other is at college studying more about the trade.

Additionally, it provides a peer group connection for each apprentice – so they can bounce ideas off one another and share the learning experience together. This creates motivation and encouragement for the apprentices to stick with their bricklaying apprenticeship to the very end – which is great for you and great for them.
