NECA Group Training is a Training Company set up as a subsidiary of the National Electrical Contractors Association NSW Chapter. It has the specific task to promote the entry of young people into the trade of electrical mechanic.
To achieve this, NECA Group Training operates through the normal apprenticeship system by selecting and employing apprentices who are then made available to suitable contractors for on-the-job experience.
This means that participating electrical contractors can benefit from the assistance of an apprentice without having to make the long term commitment that the employment of an apprentice requires. Known as Host Trainers, these electrical contractors provide apprentices with experience and instruction while they are on-the-job and, at the same time, receive the assistance normally expected from an additional employee.
To finance the operation, Host Trainers are charged an hourly rate for the time that the apprentice spends on the work site. Because NECA Group Training is a non-profit organisation, this rate is very competitive and no charge is made for additional items such as TAFE attendance, superannuation, holidays and sick leave or for rostered days off. An additional charge is made if the apprentice qualifies for extra payment to meet award conditions and this will include such things as fares, travel and site allowances. These additional payments attract a small surcharge to cover statutory costs.
