East Vic Workforce was established in 1987 as a not-for-profit, community based organisation to encourage and support the employment of apprentices and trainees into apprenticeships and traineeships. As a Group Training organisation, East Vic Workforce provides a range of services to the community, including recruitment, selection and placement of apprentices and as a nationally accredited training provider, delivers on and off the job training and employment in a wide range of vocations. East Vic Workforce employs people of all ages as New Apprentices, and then hires them to Host Employers at very competitive rates through a Group Training arrangement. East Vic Workforce manages all the paperwork, payroll, allowances, workcover, superannuation, wages, annual leave and sick leave. East Vic Workforce supports the employer and the new apprentice in the field, and arranges for training and assessing of the new apprentices at times that suit the host employer.
