Industry Specialist Mentoring for Apprentices
The Industry Specialist Mentoring for Australian Apprentices (ISMAA) program is funded by the Australian Government and provides intensive support to apprentices and trainees in the first two years of their training in industries that are undergoing structural change.
ISMAA is delivered by Service Providers across Australia in major cities as well as rural and regional areas. Ai Group has been contracted to deliver services to apprentices in the manufacturing industry under the Program.
