SCHOOL LEAVERS - MAS is offering one-on-one personalised career sessions to you
Year 12 and School Leavers 1-1 Career Sessions
As has been mentioned our main goal when working with schools has always been to prepare students for life after school and pathways beyond the classroom - a goal which we believe will be more significant than ever this year.
For extra support we are offering year 12’s and school leavers the opportunity to talk with us one-on-one to address their situation and needs. As always sessions are free and we welcome parents/guardians to join as well. Sessions can be done over the phone or using electronic means (Zoom, Webex, MS Teams) and they can be booked until the school year ends.
Attached is a flyer which you can pass on to any of your students which will benefit from a session.
Boosting Apprenticeship Commencements Wage Subsidy
To assist with the recovery from the impact of COVID-19, the Australian Government is providing support to all employers who engage a new Australian Apprentice through the $1.2 billion dollar ‘Boosting Apprenticeship Commencements wage subsidy’.
From October 5th 2020, any businesses or Group Training Organisation that engages an Australian Apprentice may be eligible for a subsidy of 50 per cent of wages paid to an apprentice between 5 October 2020 and 30 September 2021, to a maximum of $7,000 per quarter. The subsidy is capped at 100,000 places and is available for wages paid from 5 October 2020 to 30 September 2021.
Our team at Mas is here to support with navigating the Boosting Apprenticeship Commencements Wage Subsidy. If you have a specific question please email info@masexperience.com.au and one of our team members will get in contact with you.
