Why Masterlink for Hosts
- We employ the best. Our robust recruitment process ensures quality apprentices for our host businesses. The candidates you meet have already been vetted and tested.
- We sort all your apprentice's paperwork and admin including ACC, HR, payroll and block course arrangements. We make it hassle-free for you so you can focus on your business.
- We support you and your apprentice. Our Regional Managers hold regular appraisals to keep your apprentice on track to qualify and provide assistance as required. Help is just a phone call or an email away!
- We provide your apprentice with starter tools and a full PPE kit once the contract is signed so they are ready to work.
Why Masterlink for Apprentices
- We process your application to make sure you’ve got the right stuff to succeed in our industry. You will be interviewed, screened and tested before we put you in front of a host.
- We support your training – on the job and at training providers. We coordinate your block courses (off-job study) arrangements, pay your training fees (when free fees do not apply) and match you with a mentor who meets with you for regular appraisals and is just a phone call away.
- We match and place you in an established local plumbing/gasfitting/drainlaying firm who will provide your on-job work experience. Our host companies are passionate about training and most are Master Plumbers Member businesses.
- We give you the tools for the job, setting you up with a starter tool kit and full PPE gear worth over $2,500.
- Every Masterlink apprentice automatically becomes a Master Plumbers Apprentice Member. This gives you access to exclusive discounts and deals, scholarships, NZ Plumber magazine and regular newsletters with the latest industry info.
