IN THE TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Industrial Relations Act 1984
This application is for a "traineeships" provision to be put into Division G of the Building Trades Award. A "traineeship", according to the definition proposed, means a system under the Australian Traineeship Scheme comprising structured, on-the-job training with an employer and off-the-job training in a Technical and Further Education College or other training approved by the Training Authority of Tasmania: this is a reasonable explanation. The system is aimed at providing young people, who would not otherwise have the opportunity, with access to some basic work training at the commencement of their working career. For all practical purposes the terms of the award addition sought are the same as traineeship provisions put into some other awards of this Commission in recent times (e.g. T.2092 and T.2096 of 1989). Mr Grubb, for the Federated Clerks Union of Australia, Tasmanian Branch, spoke in support of his union's application for the traineeships provisions in the Award and Mr Edwards of the Tasmanian Confederation of Industries, expressed agreement and support for the proposed amendment. Both advocates sought the date of decision as the operative date. The Award will be amended in the terms sought and agreed, operative from 7 November 1989. Order
