Hire Apprentices and Trainees in Queensland with Confidence

Looking at hiring apprentices or trainees in Queensland? Here’s how to do it the easy way.

Finding skilled, reliable staff is a challenge across Queensland.

For many businesses, offering apprenticeships and traineeships is the best way to build a pipeline of talent.

But managing recruitment, payroll, contracts and compliance can be a time-consuming distraction from running your operation.

There is a simple answer.

For more than 30 years, Community Solutions has been helping Queensland employers hire and manage apprentices and trainees with less admin, less risk and better outcomes.

We handle the entire process, so you get the right person for the job and can carry on doing your job.

Whether you need a new apprentice or trainee or already have someone on board, our tailored Group Training Organisation (GTO)  services in Queensland make hiring and managing apprentices and trainees simple, supported and cost-effective.

Our End-to-End Apprentice and Trainee Solution

When you host an apprentice or trainee through Community Solutions, you’ll be supported by a dedicated Field Officer who works with you to understand your business needs, operations and the specific skills you require.

We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we carefully match apprentices and trainees who have the right skills, attitude and potential to grow with your team.

Our Proven Five-Step Process

1. We Learn About Your Business
   Your dedicated Field Officer meets with you to understand your operations, culture and skill requirements so we can find the right apprentice or trainee for your business.
2. We Find and Present the Best Candidates
   We handle advertising, screening and shortlisting, then present you with top candidates. You choose who to interview, and we assist with coordination to make it easy.
3. We Employ on Your Behalf
   As the legal employer, we manage payroll, leave, superannuation, entitlements, training contracts and all regulatory paperwork, so you don’t have to.
4. We Provide Ongoing Mentoring and Support
   Your Field Officer monitors progress, offers mentoring and steps in quickly if any issues arise, helping your apprentices and trainees stay on track and productive.
5. We Adapt to Your Needs
   Whether you need a full-time, part-time or short-term placement, we can tailor arrangements. If a candidate isn’t the right fit, we can replace them quickly to keep your business moving.

From placement to completion, we are with you every step of the way, providing ongoing support to make the process smooth and stress-free.
