Company Background
Sydney Training and Employment (STE 1300apprentice) is a Group Training Company (GTO) committed to sourcing quality Host Employers to facilitate on-the-job training for our apprentices and trainees.
STE 1300apprentice is a not-for-profit company and has been operating for over 20 years. We have four divisions, STE, Capitol Skills Centre (CSC), Wollongong Training and Employment (WTE) and Sydney Recruitment Labour (SRL). Our apprentices and trainees are based in the Sydney metropolitan area, ACT, Southern Tablelands, South Coast, Southern Highlands and many parts of regional New South Wales. We employ around 300 apprentices and trainees in approximately 40 different vocational areas.
STE 1300apprentice was originally established in 1985 under the banner of Bankstown Group Retail Training Scheme to provide a formal means of countering unemployment for youth and the disadvantaged as well as addressing the skills shortage that was starting to emerge. In 1995 we changed our trading name to Sydney Training and Employment Ltd (STE) in recognition that the company had grown and now encompassed and worked across many areas.
During our years of operation, we have remained committed to career development obtained through training and on-the-job skills that ensure our employees become fully qualified and an asset to Australian organisations.
Our Vision and Mission
OUR VISION is to be acknowledged as the leading Group Training Organisation in NSW and the ACT with a commitment to address the skills shortage and progress careers through best practice programs and processes.
OUR MISSION is to be the Group Training Employer of choice for apprentices and trainees for outstanding career development, training, OH&S and pastoral care. To supply high calibre candidates to our host employers that will be an asset to their organisation, now and in the future, for the benefit of all stakeholders.
