haha ye would be a great chance for someone starting out/living @ home etc.

i can tell you that a 1st year chef apprenticeship would definately not pay the rent on your place

well sparkies don't get any more than most trades as apprentices, well at least here they don't, nor do they have a higher rate of pay for adult apprentices unlike nearly every other trade.

I'm surprised that a shop like Sabbadin would even have to advertise on a forum, would have thought they would get dozens of people dropping off resumes etc.

Pretty much your entire first sentence is incorrect

well, if you were looking for an apprentice for a speciality workshop (like Sabbadin is), why not try and pick-up one that already knows their way around the majority of cars that are worked on? All credit to them as well for coming on here to let people know, i'm sure the spot will be filled easily but if it can get to an import enthusiast who's already familiar with the cars, it's a win win really.

dezz: got a mate who's a sparky apprentice at 24, and he gets paid junior wages. Could be wrong, but that's up to him to chase up if it is! pretty damn lucrative as a tradesman though!

true that SS8_Gohan, hope one of our fellow forumers gets the job

Mature age is 25 now...Used to be 21 but they changed it as it was hurting some peoples chances of being hired apparently

[bozodos]

total BS though, how could anyone want to work for like 8 dollars an hour over the age of 21

that's only the award rate though...EBA is where it's at

[bozodos]

haha man.. i don't know of a single apprentice or trainee around here who gets paid above award rates apart from when my mate was doing his traineeship directly through Cummins. Purely because there are 50+ applicants for every one of these jobs

[dezz]

Well I guess you wouldn't have many EBA sites up there...unlucky...

My mate made something like $45-$50k first year....

[Do-Luck]

EBA rates are the only payment method I'd chose as an electrician. My last two jobs I was getting payed above award (which still wasn't a good pay mind you), however ever since moving to my current company, I'm raking in the dollars. Plus you get perks such as a 36 hour week

[bozodos]

oh I don't know all the ins and outs for the tradies themselves, most seem to be making quite a bit of coin, however 99% of apprentices and trainees are through labour hire companies who never pay more than base award rate lol
