Launch of Quality Apprenticeships by GAN Australia

Developed by the Global Apprenticeship Network (GAN) Australia in collaboration with international partners, the accreditation system has been designed by experts in apprenticeships.

Quality Apprenticeships accreditation is
designed to acknowledge best practice in the employment of apprentices.

Based on international quality frameworks,
this accreditation allows businesses to
highlight the positive impacts of their
apprenticeship programs and encourages
continued improvement.

It uses the International Labour Organization (ILO) Recommendation for quality apprenticeships, which was endorsed at the 2023 International Labour Conference by 187 countries.
Accredited employers get access to the Quality Apprenticeships seal for their country and receive a certificate of accreditation.

For more information please visit Quality Apprenticeships.
The 2024 Skills Conference is being held in Sydney on Wednesday 12th June.

As a member, you can access the AEN member rates for the conference. Use the discount code AEN2024 (valid for a limited time) during the registration process.

Building Personal Resilience

Resilience enables us to cope with change, challenges, and stress. It helps us to turn stumbling blocks into steppingstones and setbacks into comebacks.

Date: Tuesday 9th April 2024
Time: 10:00am - 12:00pm

Raising Personal Awareness

We are often obsessed with time and get distracted by the whirlwind of daily tasks, which by the end of the workday may make us wonder what we actually achieved.

Personal effectiveness is about knowing when and where to direct efforts to achieve fruitful outcomes.

In this engaging session, you will learn how to reduce interruptions and optimise your day by using a variety of productivity hacks that can make all the difference. These techniques are easy to learn and can help you work smarter, not harder.

Date: Wednesday 17th April 2024
Time: 10:00am - 1:30pm
Delivery: In Person
