The government announced a strategic review of the Australian Apprenticeships Incentive System amid low completion rate of apprentices.

“We know that almost half of all apprentices don’t complete their training,” said Skills and Training Minister Brendan O’Connor in a statement.

“For an employer, the cost of supervising and training an apprentice can sometimes be prohibitive. Well-targeted financial incentives can help ease those impediments,” Willox said. “For the apprentices themselves, incentives to encourage them to see their training contract out to the end will help improve completion rates, which remain stubbornly low.
