The Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU) welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the Strategic Review of the Australian Apprenticeship Incentive System.
The AMWU has had an opportunity to read the submissions of the ACTU and supports its recommendations. The Australian Apprenticeships Priority List include trades and significant skills gaps in Australia which are essential to manufacturing industries and that are foundational trades of the AMWU. These include civil engineering trades, graphics pre-press trades workers, joiners, metal fabricators, sheet metal trades workers and vehicle tradespeople.
