"More than 8,480 of Western Australia’s 36,278 apprentices and trainees have signed up for a new loyalty card that will provide access to special discounts and offers. Education and Training Minister Mark McGowan today launched the Apprentice Edge card, which will give apprentices and trainees access to a range of discounted goods, services and attractions throughout the State.
“Discounts on offer at leading outlets include food, fashion, fitness clubs, haircuts, travel, movie tickets, DVD hire and recreational activities,” Mr McGowan said. “Projections show WA will need an extra 180,000 skilled workers by 2016, and so it is vital to support up-and-coming tradespeople. This new scheme is designed to make life a little easier while they are training."
