the nature of the employment

 the name of the person to whom the trainee/apprentice should report
and
 any special requirements e.g. dress code, protective footwear, and so
on.

On the start date, it is important to make sure that there is someone available
to show the new person around, somewhere for them to sit (if appropriate), a
place for personal belongings to be stored, and that they have clear and
achievable tasks for them to start with. Avoid overloading your recruit with too
much information too quickly. Introduce the trainee or apprentice to their
supervisor as soon as possible.

Contact your Australian Apprenticeships Centre to arrange to finalise the


signing up the trainee/apprentice within 14 days. At this point you will be
asked to select a training provider to support the training and assessment
process − your Australian Apprenticeships Centre can assist you.

When you have chosen the training provider, make contact with them quickly
and arrange for a trainer to organise the training and assessment that best
suits you, your trainee/apprentice and develop a Training Plan.
