The Workshop program has been designed to assist workplace supervisors in their role of supporting NSW apprentices and trainees to successfully complete their training and gain a nationally recognised qualification.

The role of supervision in the workplace: Recent studies show that the main reasons given by learners in their decision to leave or stay with training arrangements are to do with:

• the extent to which their choice of apprenticeship or traineeship meets their expectations
• the extent to which the quality of the training received compensates for lower training wages
• the general workplace conditions and relationships
• the extent to which they feel supported as learners in the workplace

Effective supervision of apprentices and trainees leads to:

• more productive workplaces
• higher quality output and services

Outcomes from the workshops consist of:

• how to effectively supervise and “coach” apprentices & trainees
• the importance of effective communication in the workplace
• enhance skills and knowledge of workplace supervisors and/or employers
• what to expect from the training provider - arranging training that works for you and your business
• practical ideas to help address workplace bullying and harassment issues
• ensure safe work practices for apprentices or trainees, which impact on successful completion of apprenticeships and traineeships
• achieve higher completion rates for apprentices and trainees
• about Training Services NSW - who are we and how we support you and your apprentice/trainee
