Work Experience Programs and Initiatives. Get The Right Fit! | Sarina Russo

The PaTH internship program is an Australian government initiative open to job seekers aged 17-24 with trial periods available for 4-12 weeks.  

Your business may be eligible to receive up to $1,000 to help with the cost of the trial, in addition to a further $10,000 in wage subsidies for providing ongoing employment to your new employee over the following 6 months.  

PaTH Internships can be a smart, cost-effective way to trial a young person in your business before you commit to recruiting them. There have been thousands of success stories for job seekers and employers across Australia through this initiative!  

Traineeships create a great way to add talented employees to your workforce and develop skills and experience in the workplace.  

As an Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (AASN) provider, Sarina Russo Job Access has the experience and expertise to support you in hiring your next trainee.   

Traineeships are available across a range of industries and occupations. If you’re interested in exploring these opportunities, your business may be eligible for a range of incentives and subsidies to support you taking on your new employee. Contact our team for more information.  

The Work for the Dole scheme is available exclusively to non-for-profit organisations and government agencies to help job seekers gain the skills, confidence and experience they need to gain stable, long term employment.  

This program is designed to provide additional support for work-like activities and tasks that might not normally get done. It is not intended to replace paid positions or to carry out tasks that would normally be completed by a paid employee.

Not sure if your business qualifies for the above programs? There are other initiatives that can provide you with up to a 2-week work experience placement before you offer candidates an employment opportunity.  

Contact us to find out if you’re eligible and how we can support you to access any of these initiatives.
