[Vision: male mechanic employer speaking]

Hey there, I hear you have started a new apprenticeship?

[Vision: male aged care trainee speaking]

Or maybe it’s a traineeship?

[Vision: female hairdresser employerspeaking]

Maybe you’re an employer of an apprentice or a trainee like me.

[Vision: female nurse employer speaking]

Whoever you are…

[Vision: male aged care worker speaking]

Welcome!

[Vision: female apprentice chef speaking]

Now that you’re working, you need to know your rights and your responsibilties.

[Vision: male mechanic employer speaking]

If you are an employer of an apprentice or a trainee.

[Vision: female hairdresser employerspeaking]

Like me.

[Vision: female nurse employer speaking]

You have to make sure that your apprentice or trainee is enrolled with a registered training organisation within 3 months of starting.

[Vision: male plumber apprentice speaking]

And release them from work so they can do their training.

[Vision: male mechanic employer speaking]

You also have to provide the right facilities and equipment.

[Vision: male plumber apprentice speaking]

So we can get the right skills for the job.

[Vision: female apprentice chef holding a big spoonspeaking]

We all need the right tools.

[Vision: male aged care worker speaking]

You have to provide your apprentice or trainee with work that is relevant to the qualification.

Does this look like fine dining to you?

[Vision: male mechanic employer speaking]

Your apprentice or trainee needs supervision.

[Vision: female hairdresser employer speaking]

By a person with the right qualifications and experience.

[Vision: male plumber apprentice speaking]

A professional - someone I can look up to.

[Vision: female nurse employer speaking]

No amateurs!

[Vision: male mechanic employer speaking]

Make sure your workplace is safe at all times!

[Vision: female apprentice chef speaking]

And pay me properly.

[Vision: male aged care worker speaking]

Isn’t that obvious?

[Vision: female nurse employer speaking]

It should be.

[Vision: female apprentice chef speaking]

Now, if you are an apprentice.

[Vision: male plumber apprentice pointing to himself whilespeaking]

Like me.

[Vision: female hairdresser employer speaking]

You have to turn up to work on time every working day.

[Vision: male mechanic employer speaking]

Follow Instructions.

[Vision: female apprentice chef speaking]

Attend training.

[Vision: male mechanic employer speaking]

As agreed to in the training plan.

[Vision: male plumber apprentice speaking]

And work with me to stay on track

[Vision: female nurse employer speaking]

Making sure you gain the skills you need.

[Vision: female apprentice chef speaking]

To get my qualification!

[Vision: male plumber apprentice speaking]

And if you have any problems

[Vision: male mechanic employer speaking]

Have a chat about it with your employer.

[Vision: female hairdresser employer speaking]

If you can’t sort it out, the VRQA can help you. And if they can’t, they can tell you who to speak to.

[Vision: male mechanic employer speaking]

Which is nice to know.

[Vision: male plumber apprentice speaking]

So, keep at it and work towards your goal of getting your qualification.

[Vision: ALL faces are back on the screen and speaking in chorus]

And becoming the best you can be.
