The Morrison government is investing $1.2 billion to lead the country out of the economic downturn caused by the impact of the CCP virus pandemic, and create 100,000 new apprentices and trainees.

Starting Oct 5, businesses who take on a new Australian apprentice will only need to pay half their wages over the next year, regardless of business size, location, or industry.
