About the ARA Apprenticeships Mentoring Program

The ARA Apprenticeships Mentoring Program:

  • Maximises workforce retention and completion rates

  • Increases diversity among Australian Apprentices undertaking a recognised Clean Energy qualification

  • Connects apprentices to skilled workers and businesses in the Clean Energy industry, and

  • Supports Apprentices to successfully transition into skilled tradespeople.

How can we help you with mentorship?

The ARA is committed to delivering a range of services to a consistently high professional standard to ensure apprentices will develop useful industry connections and build a career pathway to the New Energy and other sectors, including

  • Matching apprentices with an experienced industry mentor

  • Ensuring apprentices will receive individualised guidance and advice on workplace, study and career challenges and opportunities.

  • Providing peer support and industry based Clean Energy networking events.

Apprentices and mentors meet monthly for an hour for a minimum of 3 months and generally up to 12 months.

What is in it for Mentors?
