Who is a Candidate for an apprenticeship - Apprentices in the Signage industry include experienced workers who have not achieved a trade qualification, School based apprentices & young people new to full time work. RTA is managing apprentices of all ages and most of our learners are mature age workers. Typically these people have many years of experience in the sign industry and have never had the opportunity to gain a trade qualification.
We encourage employers to consider staff for a qualification who are mature age and have gained skillson the job. Recognition of Prior Learning RPL can be applied to shorten the study period for these people. The signage Industry is currently classed as skills shortage (priority one). The government assistance in the form of funded courses and incentive programs, is designed to increase the number of qualified people in the industry and maintain skills levels into the future.
