You employ them. We support them. Apprentice management support for New Zealand trade businesses.

About this service
What is Managed Apprenticeships?
Managed Apprenticeships is for businesses that want to employ their apprentice directly, but still want ATT’s support to keep training and pastoral care on track.
Think of us as backup for the parts of an apprenticeship that pull you away from the tools. We liaise with your training provider, run regular check-ins, and keep an eye on progress so your apprentice gets to qualification.
This works well if you’ve already got someone in the business you want to upskill, or you just want to keep the employment relationship simple without wrestling with the apprenticeship system on your own.
