Great work in, and by, SA

Master Landscapers of South Australia (MLSA) CEO Chris Wiltshire has some tips for setting up with an apprentice, and shares a big SA achievement

- 

From November last year, the landscape profession was formally recognised as a trade.

As a result, serving an apprenticeship is now a pathway for young people to enter the industry. Many landscaping businesses have raised questions with me on how they can apply to obtain the services of an apprentice. To become eligible as an employer, the following steps should be administered...

Step 1: register as an employer

The first place to start is on the Skills SA website, specifically the page regarding registration: skilledworkers.business.sa.gov.au/register-to-employ-an-apprentice.

Through this page find a link to the ATLAS Portal and request a username and password. Be aware this can take up to two business days.

Step 2: complete the application

Once the potential employer receives their login details, they can complete their employer registration application at atlas.skills.sa.gov.au.

The ATLAS Portal will provide access to:

• Register a business

• Renew a business registration

• Update details
