Who we are
TAPS (Trainee & Apprentice Placement Service) is an independent Plumbing and Roofing Industry Group Training Organisation. We employ, monitor, train and supply Quality Endorsed Apprentices to Host Employers under a flexible work arrangement. TAPS is an easy and cost effective alternative to employing your own Apprentices. We do all the paperwork, arrange the training and on going support for the Apprentice.
Why we started
Established in 1997 by the Industry our main objective was to reverse the trend of falling numbers of Apprentices and Trainees in the Plumbing and Roofing Industries.
Our growth
TAPS currently employ over 300 Quality Endorsed Apprentices who are hosted across more than 150 Host Employers in the Plumbing and Roofing Industries.
We provide excellent service to both the Host Employer and the Apprentice. This has seen TAPS grow to be the market leading Group Training Organisation for the Plumbing and Roofing Industries in South Australia.
Our purpose
TAPS is a Not-For-Profit Organisation which means we can keep costs to a minimum and every training dollar stays in the Industry. There is an Industry need to increase the quality and quantity of trained Apprentices. TAPS was born out of this need and provides a much needed service to continually advance the Industry standards.
