    My son is about to become a apprentice...
    A lady from  the government ran us through all the paperwork today for the contact ...she is employed full time 
    Also the government gives him a $20 000 loan that is payed back only if he earns over $50 000 ...similar setup to HECS
    $ 4000 for free if he finishes 
    His employer was going to take him on through the business but if he is employed through a host agency there is a 75% rebate for the first year 
    50% for the second and 25 % for the third 

    So the government lady gets paid 
    The host agency makes some coin 
    His employer is a big winner 
    Don't get me wrong i am over the moon he has snagged a job and I am grateful his employer has taken him on but man how much money is the taxpayer forking out?
