24.01.2022 Businesses that take on a new apprentice or trainee are set to get help paying their wages with the federal government to announce a $1.2 billion scheme in Tuesday's budget to create jobs as part of the country's coronavirus economic recovery plan.

"What we need to ensure here is that young ...people in particular - but apprentices and trainees and workers more broadly - are invested in, not just to get them through this difficult period but so there's a vision for training so that young people aren't sacrificed to this recession, so we don't have a lost generation of workers, and so people can grab the opportunities of the recovery and benefit from technological and economic change and not just be its victims." - Jim Chalmers MP - Shadow Treasurer More: 7news.link/3jwKbOM #Coronavirus #Jobs
