New Energy Apprenticeships Program - Factsheet
The Australian Government has rolled out major changes to the New Energy Apprenticeships Program (NEAP) to better equip automotive apprentices and businesses for the upcoming surge of electric vehicles.
With 2 million+ EVs expected on roads by 2030, the changes will ensure apprentices are EV-ready through hands-on exposure and training, backed by generous financial incentives.
From 1 June 2024, businesses only need to provide meaningful EV experience to qualify apprentices for up to $10,000 in support payments. Employers also get wage subsidies until 30 June 2024 and a hiring incentive after. These measures complement the $60m charging fund and more support is coming.
