Make apprentices entitled to same minimum wage as other workers

Petition Details

Abolish the specific minimum wage rate for apprentices so that apprentices are entitled to the same minimum wage as other workers, reflecting the essential skills and contributions of apprentices to the workforce. This reform should support their financial sustainability and professional growth.

Additional Information

Apprentices are pivotal in sustaining and diversifying the skilled workforce, yet their compensation does not always reflect the value of their work and the costs of living. By reforming minimum wage entitlements for apprentices, the Government can acknowledge their significant role and promote a more inclusive and attractive vocational training environment. We believe this change is crucial to fostering a resilient economy and encouraging more individuals to pursue these valuable pathways.
