The Apprenticeships Reform Advisory Group was convened in September 2015 to provide advice to the Australian Government on options for reform of the Australian Apprenticeships system. Recommendations target three key reform areas - restructuring of apprenticeship incentives, a new pre-apprenticeship programme, and piloting alternative models of apprenticeship delivery - as well as providing options for broader systemic reform.
Seven recommendations go to the heart of encouraging apprenticeship opportunities using financial levers. The Advisory Group believes the Australian Apprenticeships Incentives Programme remains a vital mechanism for encouraging participation. In addition, the Australian Government should consider linkages between its skills programmes to better target investment in ways that support the creation of new apprenticeship places and enable workforce development. [The Advisory Group's] considerations for a new pre-apprenticeship programme have resulted in four recommendations that cut to the need for national consistency, defined stages of work readiness and improved connections between schools, young people and employers. For the final priority area, [the Advisory Group] provide five recommendations to support the validation of, and engagement with, existing alternative models of apprenticeship delivery.
