Definition

A hosting arrangement is defined as follows:

An organisation that employs apprentices and trainees (legal employer) and places them in the work place of another employer (host employer) to allow the apprentice or trainee to work on a day-to-day basis. Apprentices and trainees employed by such organisations may spend their entire apprenticeship or traineeship with one host employer who can offer a well-rounded training and employment experience. Alternatively, they may be placed with a number of host employers who can each offer a specialised area of training for part of the apprenticeship or traineeship.
