Apprenticeship and Traineeship Employment

We employ the apprentice or trainee. You host them.

Want to grow your workforce without taking on employment risk or administrative burden? Community Solutions makes it easy for you to host apprentices and trainees while we manage complexities on your behalf.

As a registered Group Training Organisation (GTO), Community Solutions becomes the legal employer of your apprentice or trainee. You host them in your business and provide day-to-day supervision, while we take care of recruitment, payroll, compliance and ongoing support.

With more than 30 years’ experience, we help businesses build skilled, reliable teams through apprenticeships and traineeships, without the usual risks and admin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Apprenticeship and Traineeship Employment Through a GTO?

Apprenticeship and Traineeship Employment through a Group Training Organisation means the GTO is the legal employer of the apprentice or trainee.

Do I Get to Choose My Apprentice or Trainee?

Yes. We provide a shortlist of pre-screened apprentices and trainees based on your business needs. You make the final decision on who you host.

What Responsibilities Do I Have as a Host Employer?

As a host employer, you provide day-to-day supervision, meaningful work and on-the-job training. Community Solutions manages employment contracts, payroll, compliance and ongoing support.

Can I Host a Trainee as Well as an Apprentice?

Yes. Community Solutions supports both traineeships and apprenticeships across a wide range of industries. We can help you identify which option best suits your business needs and workforce goals.

What Is the Difference Between GTO Employment and Apprenticeship Management?

With GTO employment, Community Solutions is the legal employer, and you host the apprentice or trainee. With Apprenticeship and Traineeship Management, you employ the apprentice or trainee directly and receive support with compliance and training coordination. We offer both options and can help you choose the right model.
