Group Training
Career Employment Group was formed to help local communities solve local youth unemployment, through Group Training.
Career Employment Group's first intake of apprentices took place in 1988 and involved seven apprentices in just two vocations (Fitting & Turning and Boilermaking). Today Career Employment Group employs over 300 apprentices and trainees in over 70 vocations throughout South Australia
Group Training takes the hassles out of employing an apprentice or trainee:
- Recruitment - advertises employer vacancies in the local media, on the internet, liaises with schools, TAFE, Job Network Agencies and other local networks to source the right person for the vacancy. A shortlist of the job seekers is then provided to the employer.
- Aptitude tests and interviews the potential apprentice/trainee with the host employer,
- Arranges medicals for the successful jobseekers,
- Liaises with the Host Employer about which Registered Training Organisation they would like the apprentice/trainee to attend and the training modules they would like the training package to contain. Once confirmed CEG enrolls the apprentice/trainee into the agreed Registered Training Organisation.
- Inducts the apprentice/trainee into Career Employment Group; the Host Employer then inducts the trainee/apprentice into their workplace.
- Provides mentoring for the apprentice/trainee through the duration of apprenticeship/traineeship and deals with issues as they arise,
- Assists the Host employer with disciplinary matters,
- CEG as the legal employer of the apprentice/trainee is able to move the apprentice at the request of the existing Host Employer. This occurs when the Host Employers work reduces
- Arranges and monitors on and off the job training,
- Is responsible for payroll and all other statutory requirements,
- Career Employment Group is proactive in reinforcing safe work practices that compliment the Host Employers policies and practices,
