The Department of Education and Work Place relations is encouraging employers to value the skills and experiences of their mature aged workforce. If you have a trainee (of any age group) and you employ a member of staff of 50years old then they will pay $4,950 to you for them to fulfil the qualification along with the trainee and act as a mentor.
