Group Training

How can I save time AND money in my business!?!  That’s the cry of every business owner, manager and operator in the country, right?

If you’re the owner or manager of a business in any of the trade based industries you’ll know just how hard it is to find and retain quality tradespeople.  At the moment we’re experiencing our worst ever trade skill shortage and since the country is going to be riding on the back of the mining industry for many years to come we’re going to need tradespeople, and lots of them.  And how do we get great tradespeople?  We put on great apprentices and train and manage them well.  In the long run, using a Group Training company to help develop your workforce may actually Save You Time and Money…. And here’s how…

Have you ever weighed up the costs of going it alone?  I mean, how much does it cost you to advertise, shortlist, interview, and select the right people yourself?  And what about managing them and their training both off and on the job as well as making sure they are developing as great tradespeople?  Each element described here comes with its own associated cost – and all this while you’re trying to run a profitable business.  Add it all up and you have to ask yourself, “What is it costing me??”

Outsourcing all of these tasks to a Group Training organisation is a smart business decision.  Quality Group Training companies like MIGAS are well equipped to deliver on all of these requirements because it’s what they do.  Group Training companies have access to large candidate pools.  MIGAS in particular have great local relationships with the community, including schools, so they know what to look for in a good apprentice or trainee and how to find people to fit your business.  MIGAS do all that for FREE.

Then there is the challenge of keeping the apprentices and trainees on track and well supported throughout their apprenticeship.  That’s what Group Training does very well.  With access to local support services, and quality trained field officers experienced in dealing with all manner of IR, HR and Safety related issues.  Now, what’s that worth?

And what price do you put on the flexibility Group Training offers?  What about the peace of mind knowing that if the apprentice doesn’t work out or the work drops off and you don’t need them?  You can make ONE phone call and they are taken out of your business, hassle free – no dramas.  And all for a simple hourly rate that covers the lot.  Now that’s peace of mind!

So once you’ve engaged a Group Training company you’ll have the time to do what you do best – grow your business.  That’s why Group Training works so well.
