$1000 Early Completion payment for eligible apprentices
4th September, 2007
The Queensland Government has committed $7.2 million over four years for the new $1000 bonus scheme for apprentices completing their training early.
This means that apprentices in an eligible skill shortage occupation will be paid a $1000 Early Completion Bonus if they complete their apprenticeship within a certain time period.
Eligibility criteria
To be eligible for the Early Completion Bonus apprentices must have completed their training contract in an identified skills shortage occupation on or after 1 January 2007 - at least six months early if they are a full-time apprentice or 12 months early if they are a part-time apprentice.
