An employer-driven scheme: pick unemployed diploma or degree holders, define the training to your needs, and HRDC funds the training fees plus the graduate's monthly stipend over a 3 to 12 month training and placement, after which you can hire them.
GTES is built for taking on graduates. You choose unemployed diploma or degree holders, shape the training around the skills your business needs, and HRDC funds it, so you get a graduate trained to your requirements at little cost.
What you get: HRDC funds the training fees, commonly cited around Rs 80,000 to 100,000 per graduate, and pays the graduate a monthly stipend during a 3 to 12 month training and placement. At the end you are well placed to hire someone who already fits.
Because you drive the design, this works best when you know the exact role you are hiring for and can map out the training that gets a graduate there.
To take part, register your enterprise and propose the training at gtes.hrdc.mu.
Watch out for this
Watch out for the exact figures. GTES is lower profile than the newer HRDC flagships and the caps and stipend can change, so confirm the current amounts with the HRDC before you plan around them.
Who's eligible
- You must have (or be registered as) an employer.
How to apply
Register your enterprise and propose the training at gtes.hrdc.mu. Confirm the current cap and stipend with the HRDC.
