For a better career, work experience with an employer is vital as it gives valuable insight into the work involved. Squad can assist with this. Join us today!
Work Experience | Squad | Employment Services | Australia

Never underestimate the importance and power of work experience. Many employers look for young people that have had some relevant work experience because it helps them prepare for work and develop general business awareness. Importantly, many employers feel that applicants, particularly in the trades area, do not have a satisfactory level of knowledge about their chosen career or job.

To gain a better understanding of a career, arranging some work experience with an employer is vital. It may not give someone time to develop job-specific skills, but it can give them a valuable insight into the work involved. A young person that undertakes work experience also demonstrates to an employer that they have motivation and commitment. Most schools may be able to organise work experience and Squad can assist here as well by connecting with our existing Host Employers.  

The Team at Squad have been instrumental in recruiting hard to fill apprentices in a timely and thorough manner. Their responsiveness to our needs is second to none, and they value the importance of regular dialogue and transparency throughout the recruitment process and beyond. We highly recommend engaging Squad and thank them for their hard work which has rendered great success in our business

Sarah McKenzie - Doug Sutherland Truck Repairs (Wagga)

We have been supported with staff from Squad over a number of years and during that time we have forged a great working relationship with Squad. Their approach to staffing and host employer support is excellent and actually goes beyond just the business side of staffing. Care and interest are just two standout attributes that we see from Squad's Staff. We love the ease of the trainee administration, staff options, and we really enjoy concentrating on our core work focus with Squad's trainees right beside us!

If your a small business and managing a HR department as well, it’s an extra cost in payroll for 2-3 people to run that area professionally. Recruitment companies take away all the day to day headaches, from sourcing staff around the globe, reference checking, payroll, WHS, dealing with time-sheets and assisting with staff training and the most important area of business, your staff are alway on the correct award rate of pay and managing the expectations of Fairwork Australia. We engaged Squad in 2018 and we have never looked back.

Marie Adele - General Manager, Bernti's Mountain Inn

Squad's active mentoring of apprentices through regular catch ups really assists both the apprentice and host employer to stay on top of any issues that arise.  This keeps communication flowing about how the apprentice is tracking at work and at TAFE and everyone’s expectations are managed effectively.

Squad is also proactive with assisting host employers on advice and applications for incentive payments available – always a great help.  Thanks to Cathy and the team at Squad Wagga Wagga!
