Ruffels Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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 i'm an apprentice through a labour hire company, its not that bad Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/337069-apprentice-opportunity/page/2/#findComment-5459239 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezz Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Award - 1st - $317, 2nd $407 3rd, $541, 4th $631, A Grade $766 EBA - 1st $430, 2nd $616, 3rd $833, 4th $977, A Grade $1317 Mature - 1st $550, 2nd $833, 3rd $977, 4th $1014, A Grade $1317 So there is a fair bit of difference...more so the further into the apprenticeship you go... 3rd year apps on the EBA making more than A Grades on the award...

Do-Luck Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I worked at a company for around 3 months on the A-Grade award rate, it was seriously painful clearing only $1100-$1200 a fortnight, not to mention the shittest work I had ever experienced. I seriously don't understand how some blokes can put up with any sort of domestic work whatsoever.

Do-Luck Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 What are you implying? My preference to the type of work I like to do? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/337069-apprentice-opportunity/page/2/#findComment-5467329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS8_Gohan Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 i think he/she is referring to the "skills shortage" and perhaps inferring that pay and conditions make it tough for people to stick it out as a career perhaps? hence a shortage of people in a 'skills' trade.... i dunno Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/337069-apprentice-opportunity/page/2/#findComment-5467374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
