WESTRAC — REDUNDANCIES
864. Mr F.M. LOGAN to the Minister for
Training and Workforce Development:
I have a supplementary question.
Quite often the department does not help first and second-year apprentices, and
if we lose them to industry, they will never come back. Can I ensure that the
Department of Training and Workforce Development is helping the first and
second-year apprentices?

Nobody likes to lose an apprenticeship to the system. When we
are in this stage of the economic cycle, the challenge for both employers and
government is to try to maintain the levels of training happening in the
workplace. It is much more difficult at this stage in the cycle than it is when
the cycle is at its peak, but the member can be assured that we are doing
everything we can to maintain those apprenticeships that have been secured in
WesTrac but cannot be continued. If we can pass those on to another employer,
that is the government's goal and it is certainly the position that I
am taking through the support of the Department of Training and Workforce
Development.
