For over 25 years, The BUSY Group, an Australian Not-For-Profit Organisation, have been championing and delivering specialised apprenticeship services. The team will spotlight their innovative approach in three key areas: retaining women in non-traditional trades, implementing early behavioural science interventions, and providing recruitment support to enhance completion rates. Through targeted initiatives and strategic interventions, they've achieved retention rate increases ranging from 27% to 85%, showcasing the effectiveness of their comprehensive strategies. Learn how these initiatives underpinned by collaboration, innovation, and science-based solutions, could benefit learners, industry, and the Canadian economy.
