Supporting your apprentice or trainee – essential resources

New resources for supporting your apprentice or trainee

Workplace supervisors play a central role in the success of apprenticeship and traineeship programs. A capable supervisor can make workplace training meaningful and enjoyable for both the supervisor and the apprentice/trainee.

To help businesses get the best outcomes from their training programs, Training Services NSW has created a new series of videos to help workplace supervisors of an apprentice or trainee to:

• understand your role as a workplace coach and mentor;
• assist your apprentice or trainee to become independent; and
• develop your apprentice or trainee as a valued member of your workforce

The support videos provide guidance on:

• Supervising your apprentice or trainee
• Roles and responsibilities
• The Training Plan
• Workplace training
• Legal responsibilities
• Signing off competence
• In your learner’s shoes
• Induction
• Above the line behaviour
• Learning styles
• Safety
• Bullying in the workplace
• Diversity
• Aboriginal learners
• How Training Services NSW can help

Additional resources to help workplace supervisors work more effectively and productively with apprentices and trainees are available on the Training Services NSW website.
